Why do paintings of Adam depict him with a belly button? He was not born from a placental mammal, earthly mother, and so had no umbilical cord to be cut to form a belly button!

Imaginative artwork has a much lower priority, if any. What is written is the most important thing.

Probably for the same reason they are usually also white Caucasian.
Let's put an end to such speculations and potential heresy!! 😠
Now for more questions.
1. Was Adam tall or short?
2. Blue eyes or brown?
3. Righty or lefty or both?

Incidentally, in my view, the art that Christianity inspired, both musical (Bach's Passions and B minor Mass, the Requiems of Faure, Brahms, Verdi, Handel's Messiah, Haydn's Creation and so much more) and the artwork of the Renassance is so much more inspirational than the written word of the Bible.

Originally posted by karoly aczelI think most sane Christiams these days accept that Adam was a myth. I am not questioning Christian dogma here (perish the thought!), just gently and rather naughtily posing the question as to why artists of the Renaissance turned reaon off when they painted their beautiful masterpieces.
Took the words out of my mouth.
I wish christians would care a bit more about accuracy if they want their teachings to be heeded-Robbie, jaywill, whodey
