Drink- If you believe the story of Adam and Eve and that God created them, then they have no belly buttons. Belly buttons are just the remnants of the umbilical cord. A human who was created, not born, would have no need for them.

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.

I think a better question would be: Did Adam have nipples and mammary glands like men now do? I mean, why would god give those to Adam when he clearly had no intention of creating Eve until Adam whined about not having somebody like the rest of the animals. Which I also found interesting. I mean, God created male and female for all the other animals, but just happened to forget to make one for Adam. So, if he did have mammary glands and nipples, what purpose did they serve? And if he didn't, how come men have them now? Eve's genes that powerful? Give me a break people.

It's doubtful, since Adam and Eve were not conceived from a woman's womb, therefore not connected by the umbilical cord. I don't think they did.

lol, no they would not have. Since the belly button is what's left after the connection to the womb.
best wishes.

I'm pretty sure they did.
But since there were no photographers around at the time, we don't really know for sure.
