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

Adam was not born from a woman. He was created by God.  Jesus was born a man thru holy spirit.

Theoretically, it would be Adam and Eve. A navel is the scar of the umbilical cord and neither of them came from anyone's womb so they wouldn't have one for that reason.

No, they don't.  Humans males also have the same number of ribs as female humans.

If you beleive in Darwin the simplest form of life, or the Egg came first.\n\nIf you beleive in religion then the fully grown animal came first.\n\nAs for the one who posted the Rooster notice, I have a question for you.  Why do men have nipples?  Maybe God's a girl and she created woman in her image, how else would men, who have NEVER lactated in history, have nipples if he were not taken from HER rib?\n\nScience says (proven, with embryo photography) all of us are conceived female (this is indisputable medical fact).  With full, working female organs.  In the 7th week (funny that number 7, 7 weeks, 7 days), is when things change.  This is documented.\n\nWhy do men have nipples if they don't (and never will) work?

Oy, tough one. \nAnswer 1: Without female, there is no reference point from which to determine man from woman, so no.\nAnswer 2: Yes, but without female there can be no reproduction, so yes, but the human race would end pretty quickly.\nAnswer 3: If you use the bible as a point of reference, then yes because G-d supposedly made Adam first and then made Eve out of one of his ribs.\n\nMost of these answers depend on what you mean by the question, so try to clarify a bit more next time.

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!!!!

First question...I am a very feminist "Christian" and I believe that God is both, since there is both male and female...if all of us are created in God's image, then women are also...hence the both sexes present.\nSecond question...to most people that have studied the Bible, original sin IS NOT Eve's fault. It is the fault of Adam. He lied to Eve about what God had said about the Tree of Knowledge and when it came time to "confess" Adam blamed Eve for everything and also (and I'm paraphrasing here) called God an idiot for making her. Also according to Jewish Law and Myth, a man is always held accountable for a womans actions.\nThird question...there is a Bible called the Jeromes Bible, it was translated by St. Jerome and he took the original Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew text word for word in the translation...the reason I bring that translation up is because women are not as "negatively" portraited as in some other translations. Sure you still have Jezebel, Deliha, and all those other honeys...but when women are discussed, it is not as "irrational" as some other translations.\nWhat you have to remember is that we don't honestly know what is in the original text...the Bible has become corrupted by man and HIS own dogma and ideology. The most important thing about faith is to know what you believe in and to use the bible as a guide...not as faith itself. \nGod does not hate women, nor is He indifferent to them. He made as all, both sexes, equal...Eve was taken from Adams rib, not from his feet to be above him, or from his feet to be below him; but from his rib, to be equal to him. That is something we all must remember.

Her name was Lilith.  I believe, but might be wrong, that it is a hebrew origin.  She was suppose to be Adams first wife, make from the earth.  She wouldn't submit or be subserviant to Adam so god cast her out of the garden of eden.  He then made eve from adams rib.  Alot of things have been said about her like she became a demon, a vampire, evil, etc.  Just go to any major search engine and look her up, the variety of legands are great reading!

Wow, your question was confusing, I had to re-read it a few times. But, it's not a dumb question and I dont think it was a mean spirited question. Adam was the first man, fashioned from the dust and the breath of God in the image of God. Eve was the first woman made of Adams rib and the breath of God. They had children, namely 3 sons, Cain, Able, and Seth. So if you keep reading the bible from there, there are geneologies and you can see who begat whom on down the line. Long after Adam and many of his descendants had died, from the lineage of King David, a woman named Mary was bethrothed to a man named Joseph. Mary was indeed a virgin as she was not yet married. The Angel of the Lord came to her and told her that she was pregnant with our Savior, the Son of God.  What a daunting message, but God prepared for her just the right fiance, who loved her enough that at this seemingly crazy tale that he decided to preserve her life, her honor and put her away in secret. Well, the Angel of the Lord came to Joseph too, and told him that it is true, the baby is God's and your fiance's still a virgin (to paraphrase) If you read the Bible you'll get a more detailed version of this piece of History. The Baby Jesus grew to be a Man, all His life Jesus was close to God, His Father and prayed to him, because God is 3 persons, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. So, although Jesus is very much God, He is the Son of the Father. So, that is why Jesus is completely perfect and had no sin, and was able to sacrifice himself for us. At that moment when Jesus asked the Father "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do" He was extending that same grace to us too, even now. Jesus did not escape crucifixion, he did not escape death. He conquered death, he conquered the old law of the old testament that said there must be a sacrifice, a blood atonement for all sins. We were all born into sin because of Adam and Eve chosing to follow thier flesh and give in to temptation. We were permanantly severed from God, and still are if we dont believe that Jesus is God made flesh, and is God's Son. We must believe that and believe that Jesus did die that day on the cross, that he laid in a tomb dead, but was resurrected on the 3rd Day and that he ascended into heaven very much alive and there he sits at the right hand of the father, leaving The Holy Spirit ever interceding for us. That is the truth and the only way to be allowed into God's presence upon our death here on Earth. There is no blaspemy in that. Jesus was brought to trial for that, because he in no uncertain terms claimed his rightful title as The Son of God. He was found faultless by Pilate, however, the crowd shouted "Crucify Him" and took a foul murderer to be released and the mob sentanced thier own King thier own Savior to die. But, it was what had to be done. Jesus said before his crucifixion, "No one takes my life, I willingly lay it down".

Anybody that was born had/has a naval(a.k.a. belly botten) Mary gave birth to Jesus, so He would have one. As for Adam, who knows? He wan't born, but God could have given him one any way.

No...not really... I think we can learn something from the symbolism in the Bible even if we don't take it literally.\n\nThe fact that Eve was taken from Adam's rib was an important symbol.  She was taken from his side... it symbolizes that she's an equal, as opposed to his feet or his head, which would show that she's above or below him.\n\nMost people don't read it that way... but the story really indicates that God meant men and women to be equals.

I think you're answering your own question.  You say that, according to creationism, women were created in man's image, which would mean that man existed before woman, which in turn would mean that Adam already had nipples and therefore Eve was created with nipples (in his image), but with breasts to feed her babies.\n\nSo, logically, men have nipples because they descend from Adam, who was created with nipples.

Yes definately. Woman was created from man. That is why the word "man" is in the name "woman"!! The male species is more intelligent and dominant than woMAN!!!

The first person was Adam. God wanted Adam to have a partner and created Eve from one of his ribs. God created him in his image and placed them in the Garden of Eden\n\nGenesis 1:26-27\n 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."\n\n 27 So God created man in his own image, \n       in the image of God he created him; \n       male and female he created them. \n\n\nGenesis 2:15 and 18\n 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. \n\n 18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." \n\n\nGenesis 20- 24\nBut for Adam  no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. \n\n 23 The man said, \n       "This is now bone of my bones \n       and flesh of my flesh; \n       she shall be called 'woman,' \n       for she was taken out of man." \n\n 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

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

It's something like: the bone was not taken from Adam's head so that Eve would be above him, nor from Adam's foot that he would be above her, but from his side, so she would be close to his heart.
