If yes, explain. If not, explain. It may puzzle some of you, but its an interesting question.

Did Adam have a belly-button? I believe we can say, "No - Adam didn't. Neither did Eve."
Why? Because your belly-button (navel), or tummy-button as it's sometimes called, is a sign that you were once attached to your mother. You depended on that life-line - the umbilical cord - for your nourishment from her body as you developed inside her.
But our first parents, Adam and Eve, didn't develop that way. I believe that God would not have planted on them a false indication that they had developed in a mother's womb.
When God created Adam and Eve in mature form, the day they were created they might have appeared to be, say, 30 years old. But God wouldn't want or need to create the appearance of a false history, any more than the mature trees created by God would have had growth rings initially. Those are things which would develop in their offspring as a result of processes later on.
What's more, this would be a tremendous testimony to God's creativity. Ken Ham once put it this way: Lack of a belly-button on Adam and Eve would be one of the biggest tourist attractions in the pre-Flood world, as the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren would come up and say, "Why don't you have a belly-button?" And they could recount again and again, to generation after generation, how God had created them special by completed supernatural acts, and yet had designed them to multiply and fill the Earth in natural ways that are equally a part of God's continuing care for what He created.

Awesome question, very original - never thought about that, but I'm an atheist, so I'd have to say no belly buttons, because G, A & E didn't/don't exist.
If they did exist, though, who's to say God didn't create Adam like women 'create' babies - fed through an umbilical cord, etc.? And if Adam had a navel, Eve would, too; she was created from him, so they'd have the same genes & the same belly button.

This is a great question! God doesn't have a belly button because He is eternal. He is Spirit. He has always been and always will be.
Adam and Eve didn't have belly buttons because they were not born of woman. They were both created by God directly. Only when one comes from the womb of a woman do we have the umbilical cord, the belly button.

We don't know for sure, but my guess is no. The belly button "happens" when the umbilical cord that connects the mother to the child is severed. Afterward, that "hole" heals into a belly button. Since Adam was created from the dust of the ground(Gen. 2:7), and Eve came from his rib(Gen. 2:22) , there was most likely no umbilical cord involved! So, since the belly button is a product of the removal of the umbilical cord, I would say that no, most likely Adam and Eve did not have a belly button.

Great question, and of course not. The belly button is the remnant of the umbilical cord. Adam and Eve were created directly by God, therefore were never involved in a gestation period or had a need for the life-sustaining umbilical cord. God, according to Him, has always been here. "I am the Alpha and the Omega." Therefore, He was never "created" in any sense that we could understand, and certainly did not spend time in His mommy's womb.

God is a sexless spirit from which all other things, ALL other things, come into being. Adam and Eve didn't need belly buttons. They were created as adults and didn't need umbilical cords to get nutrients from any uterus. How did they know to tie up the cord on their first child? What else would you do with that thing?

I don't see why God would have a belly button. I've always assumed Adam and Eve did, but doesn't really matter to me either way.

God doesn't have a belly button b/c God doesn't have a physical form. Adam and Eve had belly buttons b/c they were born from the very last transition from anthropoid ape to homo sapiens.

Yes.
If genesis is true, it's only logical for god to create the world we live already formed as it was. Adam and Eve were created already as adults. Therefore, the earth also, looked "adult". Adults have belly-buttons, and if they had the perfect genetic code, they have perfect belly-buttons.
They had belly buttons.

The bible does not address belly buttons but I would ponder a "No" for these reasons:
God - no parents
Adam - no parents
Eve - no parents
The purpose of a belly button is to bring nourishment and oxygen to an unborn child
