If your belly button never sealed shut, could you eat through your stomach?

Please feel free to offer your unqualified medical expertise on this subject. I for one feel you certainly could, an it would be a blast.
Just think at parties you could shove a funnel in and pour beer in straight to your gut! You could secretly eat at school or work and nobody would know you were eating!
I figure it wouldn't be to hard to do this either. All you would have to do is when a baby is born stick a cork in the hole so it doesn't close up on you. Later he would thank you for all the cool tricks he could do. I suppose you would have to install a valve or cap however, so whenever he ate or drank anything, food wouldn't come flooding out. If only I had a new born child to test my theory...

Actually; the umbilical cord and the fetus were never actually connected in your life, the blood stream useing diffussion to transfer waste and reasources from the mother's blood to the fetus's blood. The blood never actually touches; so I would expect that your stomuch would be sealed up and leave the umbilicial cord outside of it.
Sorry to burst your bubble...

If you poked a hole and used a tube and a special solution of chemical nutrients, you could get fed just like terry schiavo did.

Here's a question that one of my friends and I had back when we used to go to church together. Keep in mind I could have been considered Christian back then (not hardly now), but I think it's a fun topic for anyone.
Suppose (come on guys, you can do it just this once without flaming -- heck, I probably agree more with the people who would do the flaming) Adam and Eve were actually created literally as The Bible says, Adam from the sand and Eve from Adam's rib. Did either of them have a navel? There would have been no need for an umbilical cord, but was the navel part of God's design of human in his own image? And in that case, does God have a belly button?

We could do an autopsy and find out.
