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.

Just a thought before my answer: Did anyone read all that "I Need the Truth" posted? I didn't.
According to Brigham Young, Adam and Eve were born into mortality as we all were, but they were born on a terrestrial world and conveyed to this telestial world before their fall by transgression. Further, Brigham Young attested that all the animals that had been created came from the same earth that Adam and Eve had been born on and that there is not one of God's created human beings that came into existence but by natural procreation in the same way as we all were born--having a mother and a father.
So, yes, Adam and Eve had navels. If you are ever worthy enough, after being completely obedient to God's commandments, you might be able to ask them to verify these words.

No. How can they have a belly button and they was not born. They was created. The belly button has a purpose; to connect a mother to her child so that that child has nurture. Unless you want to say that they were hanging off the Tree of Life.LOL. I'm only playing. Peace

a belly-button is formed by the umbilical cord that connects a baby in the womb to its mother. adam and eve were created directly by God, and did not go through the normal birthing process. so, adam and eve would not have had belly buttons.

Probably not, because neither had a father or a mother(human, that is). Grams

No, but Eve had a rib button, and Adam had a button around his dirt hole.
