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!

He came from a “supernatural placenta” with a “supernatural umbilical cord” 😛

Probably for the same reason they are usually also white Caucasian.

Some of us who are serious about deriving our faith from the Holy Bible, don't pay any attention to religious artwork.
Imaginative artwork has a much lower priority, if any. What is written is the most important thing.

Please don't twist my thread. We are not discussing the relative merits between the written word and artwork. We are solely discussing Adm's navel in artwork. Any views jaywill?
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.

It is to prove he evolved from an ape. Another one of Satan's tricks. 😀

I wish christians would care a bit more about accuracy if they want their teachings to be heeded-Robbie, jaywill, whodey
I 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.
