    Did Adam have a belly button?

    I'm just wondering what intelligent-sounding answers the creationists would have for that question.

    A while back I started a thread that asked if god had a dick and balls and the religious's made it clear that god has no genitalia so based on that I would say maybe.

    Adam is mythological. The question is moot.

    From The Treaty of Tripoli, Art. 11, negociated under Washington, passed unanimously by the senate, and signed by Adams -- "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion;"

    I'm still waiting for an intelligent question from the neanderthal-minded God deniers.

    According to the bible Adam was made in God's image. So a better question would be if God had a belly button.

    For another brain teaser where are the belly buttons are various species of mammals that're born in the same manner?

    If Adam were born of a woman he'd have a belly button. But he wasn't - he was created by God so no doubt he didn't have one. That's just common sense.

    But isn't the belly button a genetically established staple here? For that wouldn't Adam have to have a belly button for all successive generations to have it?

    I think ez's interpretation is a relatively modern one as no classical art works portray Adam or Eve without a bellybutton.

    How could it be that this issue could become a significant one? For some, it raises the question of whether God would would “deceive” us by placing a navel on Adam and Eve.

    It is my firm conviction that to suggest God created Adam and Eve with navels is to suggest He is the creator of a grand deception, and I simply am unwilling to make such an assertion about my God.
    This worry about deception intriques me. After all, many new Earthers argue that God intentionally scattered lots of evidence around the universe, objects that really and truly appear to be much much older than the allegedly 6,000 year old Earth, to “test our faith.”

    It's comical to watch you do your little dance with fake logic.

    Maybe next you can enlighten us as to how Spider-Man got his special powers?
