Paging Dr. Curt Connors...

One. It is a fair question.
Two. What does your asking Cvengr if he is insane have to do with studies of biological properties of worms?
Three. If the existence of demons and giants is real, doesn’t that lend credence to David slaying a giant, and Christ casting out demons (to the detriment of the pigs, the ultimate unclean animal, even they were better than humans in that they simply refused to be hosts to demons!) If recognizing Biblical truths is anti-Christian in your opinion, I don’t quite know where to go with that.

My family has been able to regenerate damaged stuff for as long as I can remember. In 1960, my brother had had his thumb cur off in a car door hinge. It took him about 6 years but a new thumb grew back (It’s a half inch shorter than original but it’s a thumb). About a dozen years ago, he lost a kidney in a car wreck. Five years later, during a cat-scan they found a new kidney. As for myself, I had a heart attack 30 years ago. A 2-in section of heart muscle died. It took 5 years to regrow and come up as fully functioning. In 1974 I breathed some chemical monomer and it formed a plastic film in my lungs (I coughed blood, plastic film and lung tissue for 4 months). My lungs are perfectly normal now.
So regrowing stuff is not unheard of, it’s just rare.
If you do have this ability, don’t let a doctor know or he will want to test you and do biopsies. They biopsied my heart after the damaged part grew back. Damn, that hurt.

Nonsense?
No, it is very literally sensical.

Remarkable resemblance to a book of my youth:
The Arm Of The Starfish by Madeline l'Engle. Amazing author.
Sometimes I'm amazed at how much of my body is still working.
To: null and void
Actually, I’ve done the same thing, from regrowing a sheared off ankle bone, to regenerating far more profoundly freaky things.
From the near-fatal accident I had in 1981, you’d never find the many [former] scars.
Stuff just grows back, with no scars.
There are many reasons I have this user name.

A woman I know was hit by a drunk/drugged driver and it tore off her entire leg, including half of her pelvis.
Doctors can’t explain it but her pelvis regrew itself.
I saw the before and after xrays.

I’m kinda tearing up, that you bother to remember stuff about me.
I don’t deserve you.

If such a thing happened it would be written up in a medical journal.
Can you provide the article?

I know her and saw with it my own eyes.
Are you calling me a liar?

Weird thing to say. It makes you look defensive.
I am not calling you a liar, but would have zero problem doing so if merited.
I am saying you believe something that is most likely not true.
