Moderators Ukulelemike Posted August 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2016 Been gone a while, a lot of family things going on, a quick trip across country, and so forth, but I'm back and at my usual serious position. Here's a question for discussion that is, to me, a lighthearted question, though it can evoke some interesting thought, and yet it is a question which the disagreement on has split churches: Did Adam and Eve have bellybutons?

Moderators Salyan Posted August 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2016 Ok, I'll bite... Well, the belly button itself is scar tissue, so it's unlikely they would have had those scars, unless God removed Adam's rib through the naval area (hey, surgeons today will perform abdominal surgery via that area in order to prevent additional scarring!). On the other hand, there is apparently some possibility that the internal vessels originally connected to the umbilical cord do not entirely 'dry up' after birth, but shrink and change function. If so, A&E would need those vessels. Also, some people nowadays do not even have a belly button - whether because of complications during fetal development or because their naval scar actually healed completely! Either way, even if A&E did not have actual belly buttons, they definitely carried the genes that would result in their kids having one!

Members DaveW Posted August 25, 2016 Members Share Posted August 25, 2016 Well, the Belly button is the mark that is left when God pokes a baby in the belly and says "Your done!" I know Adam and Eve were not born as babies, but I still reckon God looked at them when He finished them, and started the tradition of the "your done" poke - after all, He was pretty happy with His work. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators OLD fashioned preacher Posted August 25, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2016 Growing up, my wife always heard that you shouldn't play with your bellybutton because if you unscrewed it your behind would fall off. With that in mind, if Adam had a bellybutton then you know that Eve (who couldn't keep away from the only fruit they were to leave alone) would have unscrewed that thing. Wouldn't that have left us looking funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Popular Post No Nicolaitans Posted August 26, 2016 Members Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2016 What's even more mysterious is that Job apparently didn't have one either! *[[Job 32:19]] KJV* Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. Maybe that's reaching a little? ..., heartstrings, Alan and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
