No conservation laws mean no science, and hence, no naturalism. In this sense, atheistic naturalism is completely refutable, at least in principle. No empirical observation could ever refute deism, theism, pantheism, etc.
Even if we allow that an instantaneous regeneration of a limb is a supernatural event, that still would not point to a god being responsible. Let alone any specific god.
So, the question remains, why would an instantaneous regeneration of a limb point to a god?
If the conservation laws do not apply within our Universe, certainly on a macroscopic scale, then atheistic naturalism is dead. It is very definition of a miracle (something contrary to natural law) that makes it a "miracle". So, yes, I would believe at that point.
