Did Eve have a bellybutton?

Answer 1

Clearly not. She was a being created by God rather than having been born in the biologic sense, thus not having needed an umbilical cord for pre-natal nourishment. Ergo, no umbilicus, a/k/a belly button.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

No, she had poor Adam's rib though, and then she squandered it with her lousy appetite. I think that Eve must have had a Bellyache, that may have been what drove her to eat the apple that gave her the knowledge of good and evil.

I wonder if, after taking a bit from the forbidden fruit, whether Eve thought "I didn't know that was the wrong thing to do until just now"?

Answer 4

Yes, Adam and Eve had a bellybutton. They shared it between them, with Adam using it on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and Eve using it on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On Sunday, they left it at home.

Answer 5

that's an awesome question!

if she came from adam's rib and fully formed, then I would say no, she didn't.

weird.

but what if Eve wasn't a person, what if Eve represented an idea that you couldn't understand and had to be presented to you in a manner which you COULD understand?

hmm. Eve ate the forbidden fruit given her by the snake, the devil...hmm...I wonder what forbidden fruit could be..could it be KNOWLEDGE of right and wrong? Why would that be evil? the snake...the devil....hmm...I wonder what or who that could be? the apple came from a tree? hmmm...what could a tree represent....the Tree of LIFE, maybe? Human Tree? human tree of history? knowledge of history? knowledge of origin?

dig deeper in the words and find the meanings inside.

Answer 6

I have never met someone called eve. I've met an Eva, but I never looked at her belly-button.

Answer 7

If you believe in what the Book of Genesis says, no. Because according to it, she was created by God from Adam's rib.

Answer 8

Hey - that's a good question since she didn't come from her mother's womb. I don't know how anyone could know the answer to this though.

Answer 9

yes, unless she was an alien!

Eve is another fairy tale from the Great Fairy Book

Answer 10

How else did Adam do body shots?
