You can argue that no one could know if Adam and Eve actually had bellybuttons, but it's obvious that no one who has ever been inspired by the bible's version of creation had enough sense to even think about it. I know this, because I have thought about it, and it's ridiculous for Adam and Eve to be portrayed with bellybuttons when you're clinging to the argument that they were never inside a uterus.
Well, haven't they said that the story isn't literal? I suppose they don't really think about what they believe in because they're just used to believe. Every time someone proves them wrong they just come up with excuses and tell us how "it isn't literal" but "still happened in some form"...
