The story really isn't a philosophical one...it's a simple case of wanting money for help in taking care of her daughter. But I do take exception with this sentence you wrote:

Meanwhile, no man is able to give soul life, but it is a gift of God by His perfect plan. God knew from eternity past what the child would possess in her body and soul and is prepared to regenerate her spirit.

Man does give soul life, even when God had no plan to do that...they're called Doctors. And you see it everyday. I watch those medical shows too. Every single day there are babies born by extraordinary means, means that God did not plan. I believe, and it is an unpopular belief here, that God's perfect plan included babies who were sickly NOT to be born, but the goodness of man couldn't help themselves. So here we are...babies being born that weren't meant to be born according to God's plan. I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S A BAD THING, I'm just saying that everytime I hear the term "GOD'S PLAN" I cringe a little. The minute man got involved, it's no longer God's plan and it's complete hubris to think so, and intellectually dishonest to use it as an argument.

Where exactly did "man" get the intelligence to become a "doctor" or a "lawyer"??? The requirement given was to be born from above through woman, the flesh was never intended to be the body of eternal life.

Luke the apostle was a DOCTOR.

Jesus Christ is also a man. He's involved and per the plan of God the Father. Ergo, just because a man is involved doesn't entail God's plan isn't involved.
