People would naturally wonder about this, because since Adam and Eve were the first humans; Adam being created from Dust, and Eve from one of Adam's ribs, they did not have human parents. The belly button is a result of the umbilical cord that connects a fetus to its mother. Therefore, the question arises: if a person was not born of another human, would they have a belly button.

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.

LOL, that's soo funny. I didn't know people were asking about them. It seems like it makes a lot of sense to ask though. Adam and Eve were made but not "born", therefore they wouldn't have needed a belly button.

The point is that they're the only humans to not have belly buttons... because they were the only humans to be "born" as adults.
Who cares? Not very many people. It's just something some people find amusing/interesting.

Because if they had belly buttons, then they were not simply "created", but were given birth to... Meaning they were conceived and carried in a womb, and subsequently born.

well they are interesting if GOD made adam perfect.
Remember GOD has to use dirt and clay. And we belive he did not have enough material to make belly buttons.
