Did Adam have a belly button?

Bible teaches us God created the first man, Adam, from clay and breathed up his nostrils to give him life. For some believers, the story of man’s creation in the Bible makes complete sense and is flawless. Unfortunately, there are parts of the narrative not covered in Genesis that have left holes for some doubters to poke in.

For hundreds of years, scenes of the Garden of Eden have been popular in religious art. This has left artists with a dilemma. Should Adam and Eve have belly buttons? Since Adam was made without a woman’s help, would God have given him a navel for purely aesthetic reasons?

Some artists fudged the question by extending fig leaves over the lower abdomen, some painted them smooth-bellied, and some decided that the first humans did indeed have navels. Creationists still argue this matter today. Some claim that the lack of a belly button would have been proof of God’s greatness to all those who met Adam and Eve. What is your opinion?

 

There is no point or meaning in discussing such things, the bible is a book written by man, a lot of it is lost in translation and edited over 500 times.

 

This is honestly something I’ve never thought of.

I would have to assume that he and Eve didn’t have a belly button because the weren’t “born” in the normal sense. God could’ve given them one if he wanted too though. That’s just something we won’t know until God tells us.
