did adam have a belly button?

A cute question deserves a cute answer.\n\nYes, Adam had a belly button.   However, he wasn't created with it. It was where God pulled out the rib to make Eve. At least that's how my 5 year old daughter explained it to me.

"By the way, to name the animals, Adam must have been able to speak. He must have had a complex language right from the start. He did not even have to learn to speak as we have to. He was made as a mature human being.\n\nHow different it was for Adam. He awoke after his creation, a conscious being, fully formed, able to communicate and understand...\n  \nThe Bible, though, tells us that the first man Adam rebelled against God and sin came into the world. Ever since, the creation has been running down. Not only are there no perfect humans in the world now, but all humans have lots of mistakes on their genes (mutational defects or copying mistakes that slowly accumulate in the human race).\n\nThe first man had no mistakes when he was made - he was perfect.\n\nI think we can get a glimpse (looking through a glass dimly, so to speak) of what Adam was like by observing certain people today. I have met people who have photographic memories, others who are brilliant artists. I have read about people who can play musical instruments brilliantly from a very young age, such as Mozart. Others can do extremely complex mathematical computations in their head which even advanced computers take time to accomplish.\n\nIf we put all these talents, plus much more, into one person, I think we are getting close to what Adam was like. Almost makes you feel depressed, doesn't it?\n\nWe have to realize that Adam was so much more intelligent than we are. We are even told that we don't use much of our brain power. Imagine a human who could use all of his brain power. It was certainly no problem for Adam to name and remember animals on one day....."

Hitchcock being a mamal had to be born with a belly button, its just how it is for us mamals. Apparently Hitchcock had several opperations in the belly area leading his doctors to sow up the bb, but I have never read this from a credible printed source. I suspect its an bizarre urban legend.

Niether one was born but made by the hand of the Living God.  The first of the Adamic line to be actually born of course was Cain. \n\nThere is reasonable evidence to believe that the Adamic Line was not the first human line to be made, however.

Okay...so Adam was a disobient guy missing a rib, would couldn't control his wife, who went on to see his kids commit incest in order to procreate.   What's your point?\n\nOh, yes, and you forgot the fact that he was a liar claiming to be the first man when we all know he is a myth and that humankind is a product of evolution.

just inside your belly button is a ligament that attaches near your bladder.  This was originally a bundle of blood vessels passing through the umbilicus (umbilical cord); after birth these blood vessels, being no longer necessary, close up to form a ligament.

While I don't place any stock in the Biblical creation story, it is silly to say that Adam belonged to any religion whatsoever. There were no religions at the time stated in the Bible. Even Judaism didn't start until Abraham.

what are you on? Did you miss the part where God created MAN, and named him adam?

Religion is a way of life and Adam had no religion. He knew God in a very personal way. The answer of course is that it didn't matter then and it doesn't matter now. He worshiped God. The one God that most of us worship. The rest is just details.

well mythology speaks of adam as the first human on this planet. hence the answer is man. eve was supposed to be fashioned from adam's rib. so probably she came later!

Yes that's it. There is no purpose for the belly button after birth, except to collect dust and fluff maybe.

"No - Adam didn't. Neither did Eve."\n\nWhy? Because your belly-button (navel), or tummy-button as it's sometimes called, is a sign that you were once attached to your mother. You depended on that life-line - the umbilical cord - for your nourishment from her body as you developed inside her.\n\nBut our first parents, Adam and Eve, didn't develop that way. I believe that God would not have planted on them a false indication that they had developed in a mother's womb.\n\nWhen God created Adam and Eve in mature form, the day they were created they might have appeared to be, say, 30 years old. But God wouldn't want or need to create the appearance of a false history, any more than the mature trees created by God would have had growth rings initially. Those are things which would develop in their offspring as a result of processes later on.

I'm no scientist, but the belly button is a bit more than just a scar.  The baby's body has to reroute it's interior plumbing, and this is a "dead end" that has been closed off.  (The baby now breathes air and gets oxygen through the lungs, and gets it's nutrition through drinking milk.)    The umbilical cord was the major artery (coming in) and vein (going out for waste.) The closed off former cord heals quite remarkably.  Occasionally the stomach muscles will not knit together in this area, causing an umbilical hernia.  I had this condition, and had to have it surgically repaired when I was 4.\n\nA much more philosophical question is to ask, did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?  ;-)

There are no muscles below the belly button.  Pressure on that location will result in a puncture and all the air will come out.

If you believe the Old Testament, Adam was created in God's image by God. No one gave birth to him. That explanation works for fundamentalist Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Buddhists and Hindus must have an explanation too, but I don't know what it is.\n\nIf you believe evolution, which 99% of all biologists believe, an almost-human gave birth to the first human.\n\nTake your pick.

Came from the koranic, biblical, belief. It wan't exactly apple as per the holy scriptures... it cam efrom there. People like to beleive that Adam really didn't swallow IT and IT is stuck in his throat.

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
