Why doesn't god make amputees limbs grow back? I mean crabs can regrow their lost claws. Salamanders can grow back lost limbs why not humans? Does god care more about crabs and salamanders then humans? Did the crabs or salamanders pray for god to regrow back their limbs? What did the crab and salamander do to regrow their limbs but not humans?

God wants mankind to discover how to replace limbs without Him. If they grew back, there would be no need to discover anything. Mankind isn't far from doing that today!!

If God made amputees limbs grow back after they prayed wouldn't that convince many people to worship god? Doesn't God want as many worshippers as possible?

God doesn't want worship. God is beyond the petty things of mankind like needing the Ego filled. If you really want to understand God, you can not rely on religion's version. Of course, you probably already figured that one out.

I know this questions, I have seen this questions from one of the atheists who knew a lot of bible verses. I remembered this questions from youtube.com... he he The truth is even if I am not atheist, their logic and reasoning is great especially about the questions you have posted. I have already seen this questions on youtube.com and I forgot his username. He is preaching everyone on youtube.com that the bible has a lot of contradictions and that is why, he is an atheist. His voice is cute even if I did not see his face... ... ooopsss

So they less to commit sins. They are much closer to God. Also those who are sick, hunger and thirsty. Please don't underestimate for those who are lack of abilities because they are lack of physical features. There are a lot of then that can still do better than us. Who wants to be a Crab or Salamander?

Yeah my dear friend islander7! That's absolutely fine with me. Thank you very much for your comment. How's your day my friend? I don't care if you object or somebody else. I don't mind. That's good for you and for us humans. Humans can be or do anything we wanted or how we can project and styled our life. Humans can be a crab or a salamander. But a crab or a salamander can not be humans. We can be a pig, snake, bear, bird, fish and so on. Not physically attributes but mentally, psychologically or spiritually. As we know there a lot of snakes, crocodiles, dragons at the Lower or Upper House of Congress or Senate or representatives. Can an amputated arms person can stab a knife? Can a blind man can be a peeping tom? And else if don't have limbs, arms, hearing and voice all at the same time? . . . . of course to live life to the fullest they can be. Life is precious than other things on this world. But of course they can still have sins on how they will choose their way of life while living their precious life.

Does God care more about crabs and salamanders then humans? Crabs and salamanders don't worship god but they get to grow back their lost limbs. They are many amputees who want to grow back their lost limbs. What about amputees who believe in god and worship him? Don't they get to get back their lost limbs?

God cares everybody or anything of this world because of his Love. Crabs and salamanders don't need to worship because that's how they been created, and they are already satisfied on that kind of life their having. They have no reasons to do worshiping. They know instinctively what are their roles accordingly to the law of this world. They don't complains for what they having for. They don't needed or wanted less or more. They don't ask questions or even needing an answers. As for us humans, that's how we been created. But we are more intelligent or smarter than the crabs or salamanders or other species on this Earth. Yes, we can't grow back limbs and God did that way for us. We who have complete physical embodiments are all the answers to those who need our help like those amputees. We are the reasons for them to live life. We are their limbs, arms, voice, sights, hearing and so on. Our love, caring and understanding for them are all the answers from God of what they asking for. We can't grow back another limbs but we can make artificial limbs.

There is a very simple reason why amputees limbs don't grow back. God wanted all of his creatures to be different. You asked if god care more for crabs and salamanders more than human and the answer is no. God cares for all creatures equally. You should be asking yourself why God gave us all of this brain power humans have instead of crabs and salamanders. God gave us greater intelligence than any other creature on this planet, so its only logical that we humans can take better care of ourselves.

God can gives us intelligence and limb regeneration. God can just make a limb grow back with his magic. God can do anything.

Humans have hands and teeth and abuse that ability all the time buy punching and biting. Why did god give humans hands and teeth knowing they will use it to bite others and punch others but not limb regeneration? I heard someone say if you pray then your prayer will be granted.

As you said God could have given us both those treats but he didn't. God knew that if humans had that kind of power they would abuse it. It's all about balance.

Crabs and salamanders do not have opposable thumbs...Yeah you still don't get it do you? Humans have abilities that no other creatures have on the earth...they were gifts from the Creator. We are supposed to use them to make our lives and the lives of everyone else here on earth better. We have awesome potential here people. We could create cures for all the problems known to man...they are already growing replacement parts for a lot of the body~even hearts. If people were not so damn greedy, they would be done already and available for everyone...AHHH, greed. First we actually have to become civilized and then we will be able to take advantage of the G'd given gifts that we have. We don't need to be crabs or salamanders...we are millions of times better than that if we can just get over the greed and power plays.

God didn't give humans the gift to grow back lost limbs. Many people who lost their arms, legs, fingers, and toes would want god to grow it back instead of living a life without the limb, toes, or fingers.

What makes you think there is a God, spiderlizard22? If you think there is a God, would you ask God for an answer? Do you think you would get an answer? If you do not think there is a God, why are you asking the question? Do you belief that crabs or salamanders pray? I think the crab and salamander are made differently. Humans can sometimes grow extra wisdom teeth and I don’t think prayer has much to do with it unless of course the wisdom teeth are causing a problem and then a human might hope and pray the dentist bill isn’t going be too much.
