can a creature be regenerated if destroyed by an instant?

[DatAsh]

Yes.

[Kenji]

"Instant" is a card type. It does not mean "this spell's effect resolves immediately." Instants have to wait for all players to pass priority before resolving, just like any other type of spell. So, there is certainly a window of opportunity to activate a regeneration ability.
