Redd Foxx told this joke years ago, here it is paraphrased:
When Sherlock Holmes passed away he found St. Peter waiting for him at the Pearly Gates.
"We're glad you've finally come Mr. Holmes," Pete said. "We have a mystery for you to solve."
"Tell me about it," says Sherlock.
"With all the souls up here we've lost track of Adam and Eve, we need you to find them."
"I'll do my most," says Sherlock.
A few weeks later Sherlock returns with a man and woman to St. Peter.
"Allow me to introduce Adam and Eve," Sherlock says to St. Peter.
"I need to be sure, how are you certain this is Adam and Eve?" Pete asks.
"Elementary my dear St. Peter," responds Sherlock Holmes. "They have no navels."

Many people will say no, the did not, for our belly button is a scar. However, I believe that they most certainly did have belly buttons...
The Earth was created in 7 days, but when it was created it looked older than that. Tall trees were created, probably with knotts, rings, and all sorts of "scars." Adam and Eve were created adults, looking like they had aged many years. Stars that were 100's of light years away were twinkling in the night sky. There were records of things that did not actually happen all around them. Every human to come after Adam and Eve had belly buttons, so it stands to reason that having belly buttons was part of God's plan for humans. As such, I believe it is logical to conclude that Adam and Eve did indeed have belly buttons.

IF Adam and Eve were real people and not metaphors or mythical characters, I doubt that they had belly buttons. I doubt this because they didn't have biological "parents" so to speak. A belly button comes from a umbilical cord being cut off and there would have been no umbilical cord. Logically and scientifically it makes no since. Then again, most things in the Bible don't make logical or scientifical sense, so I suppose the interpretation is up to you!

Anyone who claims that Adam and Eve did not have bellybuttons denies the power of God, just because we today have bellybuttons form umbilical cords, does not mean that Adam and Eve were created without bellybuttons. God has the power to create them with or without bellybuttons however he saw fit, but to say they didn't have bellybuttons because they didn't have mothers is founded on myth, because God could have quite easily given them bellybuttons.

I think they did cuz they were created in the image of man. So I guess if we have belly buttons then they also have belly buttons.

Adam certainly would not have had one since he was created from the dust of the earth. Eve didn't either since she was taken from Adams rib.

Since we are all descendents of Adam and Eve and we have belly bottons then they must of had them too.

Yes Eve certainly had one but because God forgot to give her a large Postage Stamp she was not able to put it over her Belly Button. Adam's sperm were able to breath long enough to get Eve pregnant.

no... think about where a belly button comes from...
Since they were created and God made adam from dust and eve from a rib, no belly button.
