I don't make that assumption at all. I make the assumption that there is no heaven and when you die, you die. IF however HYPOTHETICALLY you ended up in heaven and were looking for Adam and Eve, there would be two ways to find them. The easiest way is to simply WANT to find them. All your hopes and wishes are supposedly provided in hypothetical heaven.\n\nThe more difficult way would be to look for two people without belly buttons. But that would take a looooooooong time, considering how many people you'd have to walk up to and ask to lift up their robes so you could peek.

Adam and Eve had more children. Cain married his sister. The story of Cain and Abel was centered upon them and not the whole family. It is believed that Adam and Eve had many children who intermarried. Kinda gross to think that we all came from inbreeding.

As a Christian, I believe it was the chicken.  Likewise, Adam and Eve did not have navals since they had no umbilical cords.

Hi,\nI think that the navel has already served its purpose. The navel is just where the umbilical cord came out of your body to connect you to your mother. After you are born, it is snipped and then either tied or pegged closed until it falls off. The result is the navel!\nThink of it as a scar,\n\nFahed

i've seen paintings of biblical scenes.... why does adam have nipples, and why do adam and eve both have belly buttons? if you believe the bible is word for word correct, (and i dont see how anyone can think that every single word in there is perfect) that alone proves that god must have a sense of humor.

adam and eve although i must admit most of the time the adam and steves are pretty funny. The bible teaches us the eve not the steve.

I don't think it matters. Did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons? Does this affect my relationship with God? No.\n\nIf you mean that the Bible may not be literal in every sense, congratulations!

They do exist, and aren't to rare, they are usually surgically altered these days. The technical answer to this question therefore is their mother's wombs. excellent answer grace.

Adam and Eve were the FIRST people... that did not mean that God could not have created more the same way. Its just a thought:)

The bellybutton is a scar from the umbilical cord.  The umbilical cord is attached to the baby from the mother in the womb and supplies nutrients and oxygen.  \n\nWhether your belly button is an "in-sy" or "outy" depends on how the doctor tied the umbilical cord after you were born.\n\nUntil they start growing babies in jars, everyone is going to have an umbilical cord and a scar (belly button) when it's removed.

The only reason the question is important (as opposed to "Do Adam and Eve have bellybuttons?") is that it throws in stark relief the question of how literal the Bible is, especially in the Creation account (Genesis). Literalists will have problems with any evidence of against a 6-day creation period, or of an earth only 40,000 years old (or some other interesting calculation).\n\nThe literal interpretation of the Bible is almost a necessity for those who only recognize individual interpretation as an authority. If dynamic interpretation were allowed, then they would have to recognize the need for an interpretive authority other than just themselves. For those who subject themselves to such an authority (i.e. Catholics and Orthodox), this problem disappears. The Bible can be allegorical in certain instances, and it is interpreted for us by the Church, to whom Jesus gave the authority. Evolution and God can coexist! Science isn't opposed to God, He invented it! Reasoning isn't opposed to God, we were given reason to find a path to Him (but not without grace).

I love the other answers but sweetheart, Adam and Eve are examples given to help explain a folk tale about the beginning of life just as the Three Little Pigs are used to explain the importance of building secure living quarters. The bible is a collection of stories to teach lessons about history; is it not history. The BEST answers given is that the bodies would have no belly buttons and Adam would be without a rib!!!!

For the children of Adam and Eve (if you believe in their existence), they do have that bacause they are born.\n\nAdam and Eve were not born but created.\nIf according to Science, they both were not likely to have bellybuttons.\n\nHowever, we as humans and as the greatest creations, we still lack of wide portions of knowledge and forever lacking. Unless we strife hard, hope strongly and pray in every instant, we will get to know and understand some purposes of God's creations.\n\nNonetheless, however much we discovered, the knowledge we have compared to the whole knowledge of God is still like drops of water from a dipped finger into the sea.\nOur knowledge is the droplets left on the finger and the remaining other knowledge is the sea. It still majors so much, way too much for us to handle.\n\nI could not answer the question perfect as perfection belongs to the Perfectionist.\nONLY He knows the most.

not really, lets say for some reason (god forbid) u cut ur finger,, now  a finger is supposed to be there but you dont have it, it doesn't mean ur sons and daughters wouldn't have it, they would be born with 10 fingers, not 9.  maybe adam didn't have that rib, i dont know, but when the rest were born, they would be born complete... at least thats how i see it
