    Jesus did not exist at this time, is this what your religion teaches, if it is, then you should look for another religion.

    Quite a while. They had long enough to have several children and to walk and talk with God daily.

    Good question, but it is not certain. Here is the sequence of events:

    1) God creates man (Genesis 2:7)

    2) God placed the man, Adam, in the garden to work it (Genesis 2:15)

    3) God tells Adam to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17)

    4) God brings all of the animals for Adam to name (Genesis 2:19)

    5) Adam names ALL OF the animals - livestock, birds, and wild (Genesis 2:20)

    6) God creates woman, Eve, from Adam's rib (Genesis 2:21-25)

    7) Eve and Adam eat of the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:6)

    God instructed Adam as soon as he was created to back off from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which he complied throughout the time period involved in naming of ALL OF the animals: livestock, birds, and wild. That naming process certainly did not occur over "10 minutes", but perhaps months or even years.

    Adam was well aware that he needed to stay away from the forbidden fruit and had done so - until the woman came along. So, who is to blame? Adam, Eve, or Satan? For Adam, he was the first to understand that eating the fruit was forbidden and he had complied with the command over perhaps many years. It was Adam's responsibility to properly instruct Eve. Of course, Satan was well aware of Eve's immature understanding and he took advantage of her. However, she was not a victim because she even mouthed the words, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’" (Genesis 3:3)

    And, yes, Jesus IS the Creator (John 1:1-3,14).

    By Bible chronology it was the same day. We can't know exactly how long though because God didn't say.

    It was God, and I recon when he wasn't watching.

    .....Isn't he supposed to be always watching? If so - how come he didn't see it?

    It didn't really happen - it's just a story - a myth - an allegory. So the question is academic.
