So, the question remains, why would an instantaneous regeneration of a limb point to a god?
You know what? i would accept that. If someone can cause a limb to spontaneously regenerate before my eyes I'll accept whatever explanation they give me as absolute truth. Let's do this!
Really?!
Have you ever heard the saying "correlation does not equal causation"?
So, you are discounting the possibility that, the person claiming that a god was responsible for the regeneration, was actually mistaking and it was: an advanced alien technology or an actual supernatural ability the person has but which is not the product of a god? How did you eliminate those possibilities?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
