by Anonymous11 years ago
I've never thought about that.

IKR! Wouldn't common sense tell them that since the weren't born from a woman they wouldn't have been cut from umbilical cords? People these days...
by Anonymous14 years ago
I feel like it's the same reason they made Jesus white. It's so that people can relate.
When you think of a human you can't but help thing of a belly buttons.

clever.

Because they were born in heaven before they were put on earth.

I thought Adam was molded or carved from clay and dust, then Eve was made from his rib?
Nope. Who told you they did? They weren't born by a human. LOL. They were created from the soil which is only proven by the significant amount of minerals in the human body which can also be found on the soil.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Wait... what? You actually believe the birth of Adam and Eve being created from the soil is proven?
by Anonymous11 years ago
Hey, just go with it ;)

People are silly if they think God wouldn't give Adam and Eve belly buttons so that they didn't consider the belly buttons of their offspring to be deformities- or some other equally logical explanation.

...Or God got bored and thought that their tummies looked too flat!

How do you know?
by Anonymous13 years ago
because they were never attached to their mothers umbilical cord.... they don't have a mother

In portraits, they are portrayed as having them...
by Anonymous13 years ago
In portraits people also sometimes have 3 eyes and melted faces... Is that what they looke dlike.How do the painters know they had bellybuttons?Who was their mother if they were the first humans?Where did these " bellybuttons" come from with no umbilical cords?
portraits made by some unknown painter are not always reliable sources of history information
by Anonymous13 years ago
Nor is the Bible a reliable source of history information.
by Anonymous11 years ago
Where did he claim it was?
by Anonymous11 years ago
He didn't, but he's implying that the Bible is in some way a superior source of information than the painters.
by Anonymous11 years ago
In some ways it is. Like, when it comes to people who did and didn't live (besides Adam and Eve), it's accurate. But obviously whether accounts of miracles and things like that are true depend on what you believe.
by Anonymous11 years ago
If it has allegorical stories throughout the book and isn't clear which part of the book is allegory and which is supposedly factual, then it's not a good source of historical information regardless of your personal belief.
Besides, you openly admit it's not accurate about Adam and Eve, which is what this post is about.

Books written by some unknown writer are not always reliable sources of history information.

This is irrelevant but I know a kid at my school with no bellybutton.
by Anonymous11 years ago
Can't tell if this is serious or not but why don't they?
by Anonymous11 years ago
I'm being completely serious. He had to have major surgery when he was little, and somehow his belly button got removed.
by Anonymous11 years ago
That's really weird. Not sure what that would look like.

Why is Jesus frequently pictured as an attractive white male
by Anonymous11 years ago
Christianity is primarily a British religion, where most people are white. if you were going to draw the son of God, would you make him ugly?
by Anonymous11 years ago
Well, my question was rhetorical. I understand why churches depict him as white and attractive. But I think it says a lot about how strict people are with their religious views. Jesus was a Middle Eastern man who was probably not particularly attractive? Who cares; let's make him an Anglo-Saxan archetype. People didn't eat pork in biblical days? Who cares; we eat pigs now so we're going to selectively ignore that part of the bible.
By the way, wasn't it the Romans who started the Christanity craze? And I would think American Christians far outnumber British Catholics nowadays.
