Adam's belly button

If you believe that God can blow into a pile of dirt and make a fully grown human, then you probably have no issue with God putting a belly button on him either.

It clearly didn't occur to them to think about the idea that Adam might not have needed a belly button. Besides, its all fairy tales anyway, what difference does it make? You really think Samson brought down a palace by tugging on columns?
You really think Jesus was the result of a virgin birth, that he rose up three days later and all that rot?

Most sane christians? I dont know about that.

There seem to be plenty who want to accept the bible word for word literally
