We get belly buttons as scars from the umbillical cord... when we are in our mother's womb. right?
so if Adam and Eve were not created in a mother's womb then they could not have had belly buttons...
Can you imagine how weird it must have looked?
That would have proved to all their descendents that they were indeed created by supernatural acts right? Could that be where all the God beliefs originated from?
What do you think?

I admire where you're trying to go;
but navels or not Adam and Eve are now dust. You're grasping at straws
on this one. No one will either become a believer or a non-believer based upon Solid physical evidence alone.
10 people can review the same video
tape of a person getting beaten to death by a mob and :
Viewer 1: Doesn't believe an actual crime occurred.
Viewer 2: Thinks it's a hoax.
Viewer 3: Believes the person must have provoked the attack.
Viewer 4: Saw it for exactly what it was.
Viewer 5: Wants to review more evidence; claims video was inconclusive.
Viewer 6: Protests that video cameras aren't an exact science.
Viewer 7: Is upset about being late to another engagement.
Viewer 8: Shows concern but is outraged by the footage and wants to
dispense some vengeance.
Viewer 9: Can't even bear to watch.
And Viewer 10: Tries to discredit the images on the tape.
It's about perception, not comprehension. It's about
faith and not evidence nor science.
It's about a spiritual balance; a
relationship and not indoctrination.

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.

Absolutely they had no belly buttons. A belly button is a scar and a reminder that one does come from a womb. Thus if either Adam or Eve had a belly button, the truth of the Bible and the God of the Bible would be in question.
God is a God of truth and not deception.
Do study more and then consider this. Did Adam and Eve have hair, have skin as we know skin, and did Eve have nipples?
Do have a good day and consider these items also.

OMG this is such an old question. After birth, the belly button is just a scar. No birth no scar. So the answer to your "most intelligent question" is no.

You state: "Can you imagine how weird it must have looked?" I can imagine but then who was there to worry about it? But then I imagine that God gave Adam an "outtie" and Eve an "innie" just for effect. And, of course, started the great debate about innies and outties, no doubt.

Nothing in the Bible talks about that. One would assume that they would not have belly buttons since they were not born but directly created and they were created perfect, but it doesn't say specifically.

I think people should really start using the "similar questions" button. It would mean a lot less drunk atheists on here right guys? lol.

If they existed, then, no they would not have belly buttons.
This is for the same reason as you mentioned.
And no, that's not how the god fad started.
