You've taken a book meant for nothing more than guidance and morals, and are trying to read it in a literal sense. So if you wanna go that route, yes.. you do believe in magic. And that stage should've passed well before your teens.

The following cannot exist without magic:

Creating a child without sperm.
A woman being created from a rib.
A snake speaking a language humans can understand.
A 600 year old man (who lived to 950) not only gathering two of every animal on the planet.. but fitting them all onto one boat.
A man (Samson) who has superhuman strength because of his long hair.
Walking on, and the parting of bodies of water.

I mean dude.. I can go on with this forever. I understand that people have "faith" for a reason and that's what they believe, but don't pawn this shit off on me as if it actually happened. I have a brain, and I'm using it.. this is all fucking magic, and there's no "proof" outside of the actual book it was written in.

With that aside, yes.. if Adam & Eve existed they both had bellybuttons, because they're human, and in utero, that's how human's survive - with umbilical cords. They didn't talk to snakes and they didn't get punished for eating apples. Those are morals.. learn to differentiate.

As far as the Big Bang goes.. I don't know if I believe it or not, but I sure as hell favor it. From what I know about the universe, and how elements are dispersed after stars explode, and how we're carbon-based lifeforms.. yeah.. I'd say it makes sense so far.

I could do this all day.....

Edit: I also 100% believe in evolution, as should anyone with at least half a brain... or the internet or a museum handy.

What about Parthenogenesis? Other forms of asexual reproduction?
