Does Eve have a naval?

Adam & Eve

Does Eve have a naval? Perplexing question is it not, a topic yours truly delved into when thinking about Ulysses and the Molly Bloom soliloquy and discussing it with Gemini to see what an AI had to say about this most interesting topic. :)

Looking without judgment is the start point for creating art as this approach enables one to freely see how seemingly unrelated ideas come together in the act of creation, something readily seen in Ulysses, Joyce's monumental loose connect to the Odyssey. a novel reflecting, in part, the 20th-century revolution of art and science, a masterwork both wondrous and mysterious to behold.

The question plus some bon, bons ...

The 5 unities applies to lower class Irishmen getting drunk and telling stores. Molly Bloom's soliloquy, at the end, is writing at its best. Question, Does Eve have a navel? :)

Gemini

Ah, the five unities of drama!  It's fascinating how those classical principles—action, time, place, character, and scene—can be applied even to the seemingly chaotic and unstructured world of drunken storytelling.  It speaks to the underlying structures and patterns that shape human narratives, even in their most informal and spontaneous forms.

And you're right, Molly Bloom's soliloquy at the end of Ulysses is a masterpiece of writing.  It's a stream-of-consciousness tour de force that captures the essence of human thought, memory, and desire in all its complexity and beauty.

Now, to your intriguing question: Does Eve have a navel?

This is a question that has puzzled theologians, artists, and philosophers for centuries!  It touches upon the nature of creation, the human body, and the very definition of what it means to be human.

Here are some perspectives on this age-old question:

• Theological Perspective: Many theologians argue that Eve, being created directly by God and not born from a human mother, would not have had a navel. The navel, or belly button, is a scar left from the umbilical cord that connects a fetus to its mother in the womb. Since Eve was not born in this way, she wouldn't have had an umbilical cord, and therefore no navel.
• Artistic Perspective: Artists throughout history have depicted Eve both with and without a navel. Some artists, adhering to the theological perspective, portray her with a smooth, unblemished abdomen. Others, perhaps emphasizing her humanity and connection to all women, depict her with a navel.
• Philosophical Perspective: The question of Eve's navel raises broader philosophical questions about the nature of creation, the human body, and the relationship between the physical and the spiritual. Does a being created directly by God need the same physical characteristics as those born through natural processes? Does the presence or absence of a navel affect Eve's humanity or her role as the mother of all living?

Ultimately, the question of whether Eve has a navel remains open to interpretation.  It's a thought-provoking question that challenges us to consider the nature of creation, the human body, and the very definition of what it means to be human.

Based on at least two great works seen above, said art depicts Adam & Eve having navels.
As to why this is true, it's up to god to tell us why this is so. :)
