Unless I'm wrong, belly-buttons are the result of the umbilical cord, which he would never have had.ej said:No belly button?
So where would his falciform ligament have attached?

You do realize that Adam wasn't born out of a woman, right?ej said:No, you're not wrong...
But an umbilicus is not simply a scar, it's an important structure when studying the embryology and anatomy of the abdominal cavity.
I've seen plenty people without belly buttons (who have had excision of laparotomy scars, or repair of para-umbilical hernias) but they initially had one, so their internal anatomy is (usually) normal.
If Adam didn't have a belly button, then I imagine he didn't have normal human intra-abdominal anatomy either.
But heck, as I believe Adam to be a metaphor, I'm debating for no reason whatsoever

Huh? What?drfeelgood said:You do realize that Adam was indeed born out of a woman, right? Many women, as a matter of fact.
Please see my first post in this thread.ej said:Huh? What?
1 - 'Adam' wasn't a real, single person IMHO
2 - If he were, he'd have weird innards... unless God moulded them to appear as though Adam HAD been born of a woman?

I'd always thought that man's SOUL was created in God's image.arizona_sunshine said:Adam was created in the image of God.
Does God have a belly button?
