Thank you, someone with common sense. It's irrelevant as to whether or not Adam and Eve had belly buttons. However, no painting or visual depiction of the two is in any way inspired by God - rather purely at the artist's desire, their own depiction. Is it incorrect to assume that Agam and Eve had belly buttons? Maybe, maybe not. God certainly could've made them with them, despite how they actually came into existence.

Actually, I'm not here to challenge your views, but how did that stuff get into the bible if they were the only ones around? Come to think of it, who was there to remember god creating light and all that? I don't know much about the bible, and this has always bugged me.
In addition to the above comment, as I did post it, I do realize that I left out a portion that would have made it a satisfying answer. For which, I apologize.
God also gave visions and spoke to several of those 10, who passed these other accounts to Moses.
The way the story is written isn't as relevant to today's language. For example the 7 days of creation was a long time then and 7 days is a short period now etc. but the main idea still works. That god is the beginning and it took a long time to make earth and the first people. By today standards some say that god started the Big Bang and set the natural laws. But how the story started was by Christian logic passed down from Adam and eve's knowledge. I presume the knowledge is from the tree of knowledge or stories from god when man and god were still tight af. But that knowledge the couple received was passed down through centuries until it was written down in the early form of the Tora (a holy book for Judaism). And eventually put in the bible 60 years after the time of Christ. (The Tora is the Old Testament/ before Jesus was born in the bible).
The entire bible was recorded by authors who were divinely inspired, thus recording events in which they had no knowledge of. It takes faith to believe that. I have plenty. :)
