Hi Gramps, I have a 2 part question...Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? And, since belly buttons are in fact a scar, are we going to have belly buttons after the resurrection? Just curious. Silas in Payson, Utah

Dear Silas,

When you ask that question it implies that Adam and Eve were somehow manufactured, rather than being born like other people. Adam and Eve were born on a terrestrial planet. As Adam was called to help form the earth, we are told that he brought seeds and animals from other planets to initiate the flora and fauna of this earth. The evolutionists, working in the dark, don’t have a leg to stand on, and are continually trying to find data to fit their false theories.

President Brigham Young gave us to know the truth concerning this matter of the origin of Adam, who indeed was the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also. (Moses 3:7) As we read in the Journal of Discourses,

“Though we have it in history that our father Adam was made of the dust of this earth, and that he knew nothing about his God previous to being made here, yet it is not so; and when we learn the truth we shall see and understand that he helped to make this world, and was the chief manager in that operation. He was the person who brought the animals and the seeds from other planets to this world, and brought a wife with him and stayed here. You may read and believe what you please as to what is found written in the Bible. Adam was made from the dust of an earth, but not from the dust of this earth. He was made as you and I are made, and no person was ever made upon any other principle.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol.3, p.319, Brigham Young, April 20, 1856)
