So GC, I'm in line with gods ultimate plan. It planned on me not receiving the evidence for its existence. It planned on my eternal afterlife of punishment. it planned on you receiving all the proof you need to live and die according to its "ultimate plan".
Ignoring part of the entirety makes you look less than smart. The part in green is what you ignored, because you do not like to take responsibility for your actions, to bad God says you will. Be it by repentance or eternal punishment.

Can I change its decision/master plan?
God does, do you. It doesn't have anything to do with His master plan, that has been left for you to decide, so it's between you and God, no one else knows, just the two of you.

But is god really creating from nothing? He could be using energy stored within himself, or taking matter from another dimension or reality. If all he does is just make things appear, that seems kind of underwhelming.
It all came from nothing, God created only three time in six days, the rest He made from what He created. You didn't mention anything about been there for the explanation.

That's not true, you've not only misread the story, you misrepresented the story to others.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
