Truth of the matter is, god is too busy with Grammys and MVP awards to be bothered with such trivial nonsense as the health and welfare of its most prized creation.

not to mention all those individual touchdowns. Busy busy busy, with foosball.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

This life is very short, such healing of limbs might happen if we lived for billions of years -like our universe-.
So it's not a matter of limbs don't grow back; it's just a matter of a short life not enough for the limb to re-grow. A mere 100 years can cripple us and make us rotten.  RE: Why won't God heal amputees?

Starfish can regrow a missing limb in a matter of months. 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? Boru

Clearly God has to balance out what would do the most good in the world. On the one hand, healing amputees would give great joy to a few people. On the other hand, it would take away one of the Internet atheists' greatest pleasures -- asking every few days why God doesn't heal amputees.
Starfish can regrow entire bodies. Fishermen used to chop them up and toss them overboard when they found them eating an oyster. That just resulted in several new starfish.
IDK, maybe starfish kiss God's ass better than humans? 
Because he doesn't exist?
