Your belly button is your very first scar. It’s scar tissue left over from where the umbilical cord joined you to your mother’s placenta when you were in her womb. Just like fingerprints, no two belly buttons are alike.
With more than 130,000 copies sold, Did Adam & Eve Have Belly Buttons? is the number one book for Catholic teens. This book captures the attention of teens by directly addressing their concerns, misconceptions, and challenges. The revised edition adds over 500 Bible and 800 Catechism references, and has the Imprimatur.
Is it a sin to pierce your belly button?
What the New Testament does discuss is taking care of our bodies. Seeing our bodies as a temple means to some that we should not mark it up with body piercings or tattoos. To others, though, those body piercings are something that beautifies the body, so they don’t see it as a sin.
Why are humans the only species that have belly buttons?
Only placental mammals will have belly buttons. The placenta attaches to the fetus’s belly by the umbilical cord. When the fully developed offspring is born, the mother typically cuts the umbilical cord using her teeth. What is left behind is a scar, often flatter and smaller than the scar left on us humans.

Why didn’t Adam and Eve have a belly bottom?
When God created Adam and Eve, He made them in the prime of their youth in the fullness of maturity. They didn’t have belly bottoms. And the Creator certainly would not give them belly-buttons for that would be a false indication that they had developed in a mother’s womb. God does not give untruthful information. He doesn’t lie.
Why didn’t God add belly-buttons to the human body?
Having belly-buttons (navels) is a sign that people were once attached to their mother. But our first parents (Adam and Eve) didn’t develop that way. So, God did not need to add to them the appearance of a false sign that they developed in their mother’s womb.
A belly-button (navel) is a mark that a person was connected before birth to his mother’s womb. This connection relied on the umbilical cord for receiving the necessary and vital nourishment from the mother’s body for development and growth of the unborn.
Did Adam and Eve develop in the mother’s womb?
But our first parents, Adam and Eve, didn’t develop that way. I believe that God would not have planted on them a false indication that they had developed in a mother’s womb. When God created Adam and Eve in mature form, the day they were created they might have appeared to be, say, 30 years old.
