Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

Question

This is a question that was asked during my little sisters sunday school class and was asked to the paster and he told them to wait till they get to heaven and ask god.

Answer 1

I would say NO to that question, Adam and Eve had no earthly parents, which they were not born. Cain had to be the first one to have a belly button.

Answer 2

Did Adam have a belly-button?
by Gary Parker

Did Adam have a belly-button? I believe we really have an answer to that, and 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.

Answer 3

We do not know. However, if I were to speculate, I would say yes. My reasoning is that Adam and Eve would eventually have children of their own and I would think that God would want these children to see their parents as themselves only older. Much like the way my daughters look at my wife's eyes or breasts and see themselves with those eyes or those breasts when they grow up. Adam and Eve's children would see a navel and knwo that they have a navel and that when they are grown they will be like their parents. But then again, just speculation.

Answer 4

It's just like the dinosaur bones. God gave Adam and Eve belly buttons to TEST our faith!

Answer 5

That's a good question, I never thought of it. I'd have to say that they didn't since a belly button is a scar from the umbilical cord and they didn't have any since they weren't born.

Answer 6

Yes, just for the sake of aesthetics. Faux belly buttons. Like when a jacket has faux pockets.

Answer 7

Not unless God gave them some! Ask yourself, Where do we get our belly buttons from? I'm sure you know that answer!

Answer 8

I'm not sure about Adam and Eve. I don't know much about them, but weren't they like the first two poeple on Earth? And then they had kids right? So we are all like insest?

Answer 9

Look at the answers from the first 1,000 times that this has been asked compile the statics And let us know the answer.

Answer 10

I couldn't really tell. All the pictures I have of them they are hold fig leaves and it covers most of the front of their bodies.
