There remains some debate within the [[theological]] and [[creation science]] community regarding the nature of this immortality. However, many people assume humans were originally designed to be physically immortal, but this ability was somehow linked to the aforementioned ''Tree of Life''. Perhaps the fruit from the tree contained some factor that was able to transform the biochemical nature of humans, slowing or arresting programmed cell death ([[apoptosis]]). As a result of the actions of [[Adam and Eve]] in the [[garden of Eden]], they brought death to all mankind through their disobedience. | There remains some debate within the [[theological]] and [[creation science]] community regarding the nature of this immortality.{{fact}} However, many people assume humans were originally designed to be physically immortal, but this ability was somehow linked to the aforementioned ''Tree of Life''.
