If not, then why do they have them depicted in paintings?

Look...I know painters paint what is in their minds and it is their right. I know that "Dee Dee Dee" What I'm asking is why this was not addressed until recently. Weren't they more religious back then.

Did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons?
For those who believe the Bible to be historically accurate, this is not a trivial question. If Adam and Eve did not have navels, then they were not perfect human beings. On the other hand, if they had navels, then the navels would imply a birth they never experienced.
Bruce Felton and Mark Fowler are the authors of The Best, Worst, and Most Unusual (Galahad Books, 1994). In this entertaining reference work, they devote several paragraphs (pp. 146-147) to what they call "the wont theological dispute." They take this to be the acrimonious debate, which has been going on ever since the book of Genesis was written, over whether the first human pair had what Sir Thomas Browne, in 1646, called "that tortuosity or complicated nodosity we usually call the Navell."
Browns opinion was that Adam and Eve, because they had no parents, must have had perfectly smooth abdomens. In 1752, according to Felton and Fowler, the definitive treatise on the topic was published in Germany. It was tided Untersuchung der Frage: Ob unsere ersten Uraltern, Adam und Eve, einen Nabel gehabt (Examination on the Question: Whether Our First Ancestors, Adam and Eve, Possessed a Navel). After discussing all sides of this difficult question, the author, Dr. Christian Tobias Ephraim Reinhard, finally concluded that the famous pair were navelless.

No! Adam created from the Earth's soil and Eve was made from a rib of Adam, so it is written..

Paintings depict the imaginings of the painter.

Only if the two were actually human (as opposed to alien). As for the paintings? heh. Have you learned NOTHING from art history? Do you honestly think Monet's gardens at Giverny were that well kept? or that Jackson Pollock only saw paint blots? It's INTERPRETIVE! I bet even Brueghel would tell you so.

this is like the 100th time I 've seen this question on Y!A. But hey it is a good one lol. I don't know, I would say no, because you'd have to be in the womb to have a bellybutton.

Of course not, Adam was made out of the dust of the ground, Eve was made out of one of his ribs. You have to be in a womb to have a belly button.
