But we know that human organs can regenerate.

 

And we know that the ultimate human organ can be "added" - an embyro.

there is a VAST difference in an organ regenerating from a tiny part of that organ with scientific intervention AND the spontaneous generation of a TOTALLY NEW organ.

 

an embryo is generated from a combination of egg and sperm in a preprepared environment - it just doesn't happen from NOTHING.

No scientific intervention required to regenerate a liver. And brain masses and funtioning can change change is NOT generation just through different types of use. Skin is another organ that repairs and grows. regeneration IS NOT generation. Repair / growth of an existing organ (eg skin) is NOT generation from nothing.

 

And a pre-prepared environmen can be anything. In the same way that mould grows from nothing in the right environment, mould doesn't grow from nothing. in any environment or other microbes, then idea of something growing from nothing and then regenerating itself into something over millions of years is an absolute possibility.

They used to think maggots that grew on meat left in the pantry was proof of evolution (something from nothing) - until someone spotted a fly laying it's eggs on the piece of meat.
