This is an interesting question, I think, which was proposed by one of the readers of this blog. My answer, which is of course, my own personal reflection, would be that he did not. To have a navel or belly button, would imply that one was born from a woman. Adam wasn't so therefore the implications are that he didn't have one.
"A navel is a scar on the abdomen, caused when the umbilical cord is removed from a newborn baby."- Wikipedia
My argument against Adam having one would be as follows:
1. Adam was never "born"
2. Adam was never "born" and thus never a baby or newborn.
3. Therefore, he couldn't have had a naval.
What do you guys think?
Makes sense to me. If Adam and Eve had never sinned it would have distinguished them from all other humans as being the oldest.
ReplyDeleteIf Adam didn't have a belly button, then if you cut down a tree in the garden of Eden, would it have rings? ;-)
ReplyDeleteNot unless he had a mother, which he didn't.
ReplyDeleteNavels are the placental connection of the baby to the mother's womb.
Since Adam was not conceived in a womb, but created whole by God, he would not have had a navel.
The same would be true of Eve, who also had no mother.
However, since God created women with wombs to bear children, anything born of a woman would have a navel.
I think he did, If he didn't then Jesus wouldn't be the equivalent as a ransom (ormaybe Jesus didn't have one?)

For those of us who accept the last 200 years of science, the trees would have grown and had rings.
@yahoel,
ReplyDeleteDo you really believe that if Adam didn't have a belly button and Jesus did, then they would not have been equal?

ReplyDeleteI was just being silly
Hmm, I feel sorry for Adam and Eve looking sadly at the scar in their childrens belly and hoping eventually it will fill in and disapear
