       But if they did grow back you don't know if it would happen "on its own" or   
   not, just as you don't know if broken bones healing would happen "on its own"   
   or   
   not. It might very well be that God set things up so they do, and if limbs grew   
   back it would be no different. If they did you would say it's just natural or   
   whatever it is you say about broken bones healing. There would be no   
   difference,   
   though you can't appreciate that aspect of it. You like to think that somehow   
   it   
   would be different, though you have no clue how or why you think it would be.
