Since Adam was made from dirt, and Eve from his rib, there would be no actual umbilacal cord or gestation period. I don't really think it is possible. What do you think??

Did Adam have a belly-button?
"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.

The question might better be, "Is the story of Adam and Eve an origin myth?"

According to biblical records, you would be absolutely correct however the Bible story of Adam and Eve is a fable.

I looove this question--its so cute!! I'm Muslim and I believe in Adam and Eve, but as a Muslim we also believe in evolution--so since all life has evolved from water--then Adam and Eve were probably descendants from whatever monkeys came before homosapiens--so they probably had belly buttons.

Yes, that is the spot that God finished the carving of Adam and Eve, it is similar to the signature of an artist on his creation.

Theoretically I don't think they did... Since belly buttons are from umbilical cords, and there werent any in this case... why would they have belly buttons. It just wouldn't make sense... bellybutton-less humans... there's a weird picture

Good question, I cant wait to hear some of the answers.
I personally think they didnt, because like you said, they were make from dirt.

In reality they were placed to re-plenish the earth so they had parents so yes they did (if they existed). But your question is quite thoughtful.

It would be a logical conclusion that they did not if you take the creation story literally.

Sure they did. God didn't want them to get made fun of by other adults or their own children :)
