One will find in theological texts from every religious culture genealogical tables , why this is so should be understood not in Darwinian terms of course , but rather in terms of how empowered and highly intelligent persons in multiple feilds of knowledge come to this earthly plane . If one understands consciousness as entirely seperate energies from matter and if one understands the consciousness is maturing and developing , in service to humanity , certain pious families can attract such special souls to take birth into their families . These are all the arrangements of Divinity and His agents who have the responsibility to guide and inspire society . So, it is that great souls in many disciplines arrive on earth to render services in varieties of ways , reflecting the good will and intelligence of God .
Krishna says in His Bhagavad Gita ,” I am the abilities in mankind “
The Gift of God ,and truely honourable people feel that ,  this means anyone at any time can receive inspiration and insights from Divinity , He is there , right there in everyones heart .
