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 Navel."
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 was navelless.

If there had been an "Adam and Eve" then they would have needed a belly button. And if god created all people, then no humans would need or have a belly button.
Humans are and were and always will be created by nature.

Well, if you take the way the Bible says, that "Adam was created to resemble God" you will realise that he couldn't actually have a belly-button because God wold have to have one then, and as we know God wasn't created, He has always existed...I hope that answers your question. Cheers

It seems logical that Adam and Eve wouldn't have had belly buttons - they had not umbilical cords after all!

Who cares about that? What I want to know is which side did they part their hair on? Now there's a question worth answering!

They would not have one because they were not born, but created by God. Then again maybe God added it.
