You have to say yes if you believe in creationism, because we are all supposedly modeled in their image.
But, any smart person would say no.
Double but, any smart person wouldn't believe in Adam and Eve anyway.

No. Because there were no "adam and eve". Those figures were made up to tell children bedtime stories (along with the rest of the bible) to scare them into acting right and obeying their parents.

If you believe in it, and say there is an Adam and an Eve, then they wouldn't have navels.. Because navels are caused by the umbilical cord which is cut at birth. Since neither of them were "born" (according to the tale), they would not have Navels.
Thank you, i will be here all week.

Well, there used to be a conflict that killed 1/4 of the world's population instantly a few years later...

Or, people used to be able to understand metaphors.

It all depends on if you take The Bible literally.
Personally, I could argue strongly either way (yeah, big surprise).
I'm going to go with a new theory and say both.
Adam did not have a navel, since he was created directly out of the dirt. However, Eve did, since she was created from Adam. You can take the fact that Adam was sleeping and God took a rib to create Eve from. That would make her a part of him, born from an internal organ. It was only after the whole serpent in a tree incident that God told Eve part of her punishment was pain in childbirth. Who is to say that the whole birth thing couldn't work for both of them before that?
Eve was born from within Adam and was the flesh of his flesh. He was sleeping, so did not have to endure the pain of childbirth. Since she was created directly by God, Adam did not have to wait 10 months for gestation. Therefore, Eve had a navel, like all their descendants while Adam did not.

Wow, Half, that is one wild argument. I think the better argument is whether God has a navel or not. Ya see, according to the ol' Bible, God created Man in his image. So, since we all have navels, ya gotta say that God must have a navel. And if God had a navel, so did Adam and Eve. And if God had a navel, does that mean he was born from some sort of Momma God?
(Yes, I am being facetious. When you guys finish up with this discussion, be sure to start the "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" thread.)

13 years of catholic school....
he's right, the catholic school system has a wonderful way of filling your young inpressionable mind with stories such as Adam and Eve, and Noah's ark... then around sophmore-year-ish time they tell you that everything was made up so we could 'understand it'
terrible terrible.

The real question should be whether or not the belly button was an innie or an outie.

Who cares if they had bellybuttons or not.
They most likely did, as most people do. Fictional or non.
But if they did, then the real question is:
How long did it take Adam to convince Eve to get her's pierced.
I heard she was a slut anyway, having like some thousand unrecorded babies or something.
