Christians believe that God answers prayers and does miraculous healings...but why does he never ever heal an amputee?

I know this feels like a gotcha question and maybe on some level it is but mainly i'm just really curious about what Christians think the answer is.
I recently watched a video where this question was addressed by a panel of Christians and i was eager to finally hear some theological explanation for this problematic oversight....i was disappointed.
The completely failed to answer the question and pretended the question was more like "why doesn't god heal everyone all the time"

God seems to heal mental illness or diseases like cancer which are known to go into spontaneous remission and help people find their keys or get needed money from unexpected sources...but never grows so much as a finger back.

So, Christians....why has God never healed a single amputee?

P.s In case anyone is interested in hearing the apologist's answers for themselves:

Here’s to the Human spirit and invention

@DocSavage

lol yeah i guess humans are sort of beating god in this particular arena.

@DocSavage It was God who gave humans the intelligence.

@RocktheHouse
Bullshit !
It was human that invented god, remember.
God kicked humans out of Eden because they stole knowledge.
Intelligence is the last thing god wanted for us.

@DocSavage You believe what you want. We choose to believe in God.

It was God who gave humans the intelligence.

Perhaps...but giving humans the intelligence to manufacture and inferior, artificial substitute is not exactly an impressive example of a miraculous healing, is it?

@RocktheHouse
Tell me, what do you think happens when human intelligence exceeds the limits god put on it ? The bible is a couple of thousand years old. We’ve come a long way since then. How much of it is god, and how much is us ?

@DocSavage Human intelligence is the same today as it was thousands of years ago. We just learned different processes and build onto them. Scientists make more and more discoveries daily. We can only discover what God has created.

RocktheHouse · M

@DocSavage These processes develop over time. For example, the Chinese invented rockets over a thousand years ago. And as time went by, scientists ran experiments to develop the missiles and rockets we have today. These processes happen over time with hundreds or thousands of people taking one invention into another.

@DocSavage Even many of the medicines we have today derived from those medicines that existed for thousands of years.

@RocktheHouse
Meaningless answers. Humans put to use what the environment has. That in no way suggest a god of any kind. It simply shows how clever and inventive humans can be . You give your god too much credit, and too little to humanity.

RocktheHouse · M

@DocSavage Humans cannot survive without air, water or food so you obviously these things were already here. Humans never really created anything. We discovered things that were already here.

RocktheHouse · M

I'd love to see Europeans create some natural gas to keep them warm this winter. God reminds us periodically that without the things he put on this earth, we wouldn't be able to survive. They should have taught you that in 3rd grade life science.

DocSavage · M

@RocktheHouse
Do you really think that the human race survives because god had it planned out from the beginning ?
He knew we would need fossil fuels, billions of years before we would even be able to get to them ?
Absolute nonsense.

DocSavage · M

@RocktheHouse
Not true. Take the air plane. Made using the resources at hand for a function that even god couldn’t have dreamed of. ( he had to give angels actual wings )

P.S. if god also created gravity. Then human’s defied his plan .

@RocktheHouse

You think this is how life really began ?

DocSavage · M

@RocktheHouse
The reason humans use what is already here, is because there is no such thing as magic. The power to create things out of nothing, by just speaking it into existence is pure fantasy. Get the idea ?
