Would you Adam and Eve it???

I saw a picture the other day with a caption plastered all over it that I had not seen before, and it did get me thinking.
It was one fo those things that are so blatantly obvious yet not something you'd take much notice of, or if you did, it would slip out of your thoughts in an instant.
So, I can't claim credit for coming up with this as some genius somewhere on the net already beat us all to it..

I've posted it here in Origins and Creationism as it does tend to cough up a rather nice hic-up..
Is it human error? Is it by design? or just plain stupidity or a lack of older models with which to go by?

Here is a similar picture to the one I saw the other day.. If you want more for comparison just go here;

So what do you notice? What is so wrong that it slaps you in the face and nobody notices how much it stings?
















They've got belly buttons...
Think about it...

Adam's got a friggin' afro!

I see a skull in the background on the weird fountain like structure.

Is it a sign? Doubt it, just me noticing it. lol

vvv

If they have belly buttons, they must have had umbilical cords, meaning they were born not created...
Was that the point?


I am actually more interested in what that thing is behind them, the grey statue in the background, you can see behind them..

Incest?

Even more strange is the idea that humans are made in the likeness of God. So then why does every other mammal give milk for its young? We understand, even creationists do, that a cows udder is no different from a human Mother's breasts, yet those who take the story literally must account for why God chose this form for all mammals. And what of God himself? If humans are in his image, does God have breasts? Does he have genitals? And if not than why would the Bible be so specific about God being male? (other than it's sexist misogynistic authorship I mean).

And what do we make of apes? Human beings share most of our DNA with chimpanzees, it's an undeniable fact, and we look and behave a lot like other great apes, so this mean God looks a lot like an ape. Yet how many times have we heard creationists deny that they are related to apes? Not only are they related, but if the Bible is to be taken seriously SO IS GOD.

Belly buttons and they both apparently have an ancient STD - possibly called crotch vine? Oh... and I am pretty sure that Adam looks way too passive to be standing next to a naked chick...

This is turning into a "take your pick" kinda thing!

All kinds of goodies...check out the demon on the tree trunk....and whats with the wisp of hair to eves crotch?..

yes!!
it's the belly button thing !!

and whatever else you lot come up with cos i'm in stitches here.

I wonder if anyone can find a picture of these two that does not show belly buttons..
and no, pictures of them facing the other way does not count

And it's amazing how observant everyone really is, or is not, seeing as i gave the answer at the bottom of the OP

Probably just the artist who painted it didn't give it much thought, really doesn't prove anything one way or the other.

hi op

Eve is hiding the apple behind her back?

I would add to this if humans are made in the likeness of god and nobody can see god, shouldn't we be invisible?

Could very well be, like you said its one of those things you just overlook and I'm sure the artists do the same. When painting the human body who is going to think to not include the belly button for Adam and Eve?

There could also be another argument assuming they actually existed. How do we know that God just didn't create them with belly buttons?

Actually, our DNA make-up is almost identical to trees. Chimps wouldn't even be a close second.

If god created them in his own image, ie, with belly buttons, then god must have been born too.. so he can't be what he is suggested to be.. he has to be some form of physical being that manipulated something in some manner in order to create these two.. or us for that matter..

Advanced alien scientists with planetary seeding on their wish list springs to mind

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to defend the biblical story of Adam and Eve and creation, actually I don't believe in that stuff anymore. I just think people get too literal when they start referring to Adam, Eve, and God and in his image arguments.

Anyway, a painted in belly button in artists' renditions of A & E really means nothing and neither does the bible saying in God's image because they never existed, at least not in the sense of the bible's version. Now I will agree that it is possible an advanced species either put us here or manipulated DNA of already existing humanoids.
