While I get that people (with very few exceptions) aren't starfish, even scaling up and allowing for the greater complexity of human beings, a limb could be regrown in just a few years.
But the topic isn't 'Why don't limbs grow back?' but 'Why won't God heal amputees?' Given the superpowers often attributed to God, it seems fairly certain that he could regrow a limb instantly, not the 'billions of years' you posit.
You should combine this notion with your primitive, hate-fuel ideas of revenge. If you cut off the hand of a thief who is later found to be innocent, God can simply regrow the hand, right?

No. The hand of the thieve is not meant to grow back in this life, that's how serious the sentence is.
Just like the years taken from an inmate in prison; hands are just like years: they don't grow back.
Even if the thief (and it's 'thief', not 'thieve'. 'Thief' is a noun, 'thieve' is a verb) is found to have been innocent and unjustly punished? Even the most careful and well-meaning jury imaginable can make a mistake.
In such a case, shouldn't Allah be merciful and give the innocent man back his hand?
