How do the Skeptics think it would have been done?

"THUS the divine Son of God came into this world - born of a woman. 
The mystery of His glorious incarnation is among the wonders which the angels desire to look into. 1Pet.1:11,12

Here the skeptic grows facetious, and the scoffer waxes merry over his innuendos concerning the miraculous conception and birth of the Son of Man. 

Could such overcome the vacuity of their minds long enough to bestow a serious and sensible thought upon the subject, they might be asked, on the hypothesis that a plan of redemption was to be devised, how they would propose to accomplish that purpose. Given this condition to be met, that a divine being is to come into this world on the plane of humanity, taking upon Himself the nature of man, 
Q: how would they have this change effected? 
Q: Could there be a member of the human family not born of a woman? 
Q: Could a divine being become a man among men without being born into this plane of existence?" 
Uriah Smith
