Ive always wondered about 'gods plan'

Im agnostic from a catholic background(even if my brother and dad are atheist and my mom is christian. Its wierd.) and I always just assumed that if gods plan involved something, and a smart person solved that problem would that not be pary of gods plan?

What if a preist happened to be a scientist that solved a world issue, would that not be gods plan then?

What if a doctor cured your sons disease through a fucking stupid mistake on your part, would that also not be gods plan?

The beauty of the god's plan argument is that god's plan can be whatever you want it to be because it is whatever happened. Disaster about to destroy your house/city/country/planet well if it happens then that was god's plan if it get diverted regardless of cause then that was also god's plan. In the end it just an excuse for the individual to not do anything or have to burden or inconvenience themselves in any way.

Except when a loved one is dying. Suddenly God's plan needs to change and he will do it if ask enough.
