Here is the Question:

Did God or Adam and Eve have a belly button?????
The belly button implies that you were once connected to your mother by way off an umbilical cord.


Darwinian theory would suggest that they had.
From a theological perspective; if we are ALL made in God's image, not only do we and Adam and Eve have them, but God must have one too.


Well maybe Not

I can't believe this question was taken seriously for centuries and still is by many people.

My thought process has always been that they did have one. While the belly button is used for nutrient transfer etc in the womb, it's still considered a part of how the human is made so God would have created them with one even though it never got used.

I believe it’s important to know how to answer this question because people who are skeptical about God will ask such things. To know how to give an answer, you must understand where they’re coming from and why they’re asking the question. They probably aren’t going to make a decision for Christ based upon the answer you give, and they may not be sincere in asking you this question. Perhaps they only want to debate with you or try to cause you to stumble by trying to come up with an answer. I would respond by telling them it’s a question that has nothing to do with the Bible’s message. It’s like asking “Did the pilot of the first airplane ever flown have a mustache or not?” That’s not a great question to ask a flight historian about such an important event. Just remember that Jesus is the One Who this book is about. It’s not about answering questions like “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin,” but how can a person be saved and spared from the eternal wrath of God (John 3:36)? It is our desire to help someone who sincerely wants to find out the answer to this question so that they can know how to answer it. This question might allow you to show them what’s supremely important. It might open the door for the law to enter into their conscience and humble them, in the hopes that they’ll flee to the cross and trust in Christ. God may use you as a means to save someone Who God has brought to repentance and faith, with the desire that they would place their trust in Christ.

Conclusion

Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? I don’t think so because they were created directly by God and not as a result of a human birth process which requires an umbilical cord to feed the unborn child. They were perfect in every way until they sinned…and then came the curse. That curse could only be reversed by Jesus Christ, and thankfully, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree’” (Gal 3:13), which is why the good news is so good for us, because “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law” (Gal 3:10). Since none of us could ever possibly keep the Law, Jesus did it for us. And so it was “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2nd Cor 5:21). There is nothing more important to know than that. That’s good news…no, that’s very good news.
