Question

Did adam and eve have belly-buttons?

Answer 1

haha, good question. i have no idea...

Answer 2

was there really an adam and eve?

and if "there was" i guess they wouldnt have one..lol

Answer 3

No, we used to be tested on that when we were young. How physically different were Adam & Eve from us? They don't have belly buttons.

Answer 4

No, because they were both created, not born.  (The belly button is the end of the umbilical cord.)

Answer 5

well, if we're assuming the bible is correct, the bible says we are all made in G-d's image. So, if I have a belly button, G-d must have a belly button, meaning Adam and Eve would have belly buttons, too.  

Answer 6

Historically, providing there was in fact an Adam and Eve (remember, the bible is NOT a historical document, it is a faith text), and that Adam and Eve were just historical figures, then Adam and Eve should be mammals. Mammals reproduce through sexual reproduction, which means umbilical cords, which means belly buttons.

While historians do venture into the murky waters of religious text interpretation and analysis, you have to remember that we are bound by having the ability to find more than one reference. Since the Bible is the only source that sites an Adam and Eve, we have to make the assumption that it is entirely possible that they are not honest to god historical figures.

Answer 7

Since, according to the Bible, Adam and Eve were created, and not born of woman, as we were, they would not have had belly buttons.

And, before anyone becomes defensive or offensive, my answer is not based on any religious beliefs or disbeliefs, but rather common sense and a few biology classes.

Of course, this is simply my opinion and we all  know what "they" say about opinions.

"Opinions are like belly buttons.

Everybody has one and they're all different."

(I took the liberty of cleaning it up a bit, for obvious reasons.)

Oops.

That old adage could very well negate my opening statement, which could open up another line of discussion.
