I think you mean...
why aren't we made to last forever?
the creation was made to last forever, it would be subject to the same laws of entropy where thing would run down but God would sustain it forever by His power
if you recall after the sea parted and Moses crossed the Bible says.. your shoes did not wear out your clothes did not wear out these 40 years... that was because God's power sustained it
the porblem is... there was no death in the world..UNTIL.. Adam sinned.. this brought death and destruction into the world dragging animals and the rest of the universe as well as the sin of man because the ground zero of death and destruction
but there is a 2nd Adam, Adam left a curse of death and thornes and Jesus wores the crown of thornes and entered into death on a cross to pay for sin, to redeem us and make us new creations...
someday there will be a place where the redeemed will live and it will have NO MORE DEATH, NO MORE PAIN, NO MORE SUFFERING AND THE OLD WAY WILL BE GONE AND GOD WILL WIPE EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES
I think thats the kinda place you wish you were and long for

Actually Adam and eve were made in a way of perfection, they never had to die. Although being reckless like some sports goes against other Laws that God has like gravity. To answ your question, it may be because one can misuse their bodies, which is a gift from God. Morbid abuse like tattooing, doing dangerous stunts may be entertaining, but it show a lack of respect.

When sin first came into this world with it came death, its like being alive on a machine and the person deciding to reach over and pull the plug, the results is death. In Adam we all die but in Jesus we live. Hay free bible lessons can get you more info on a bunch of subjects at www.itiswritten.com God bless you. as you seek Him with all your heart its THEN that you will find Him.

Adam and Eve were created indestructible! Our soul still is. Read the account again!
The Genesis story pretty well parallels evolution theory. The time span does not, unless you consider that God’s “time” is not the same as we know it. His “days” should be considered as time periods (for lack of another description). Read that account AGAIN, word for word, in Genesis
Thus God created this planet and its species, including homo sapiens, over 5 time periods. All “creatures” were created “AFTER ITS KIND” and able to “multiply” (procreate).
Then in the sixth time period Adam was created “AFTER OUR IMAGE”! Not “AFTER ITS KIND”. Adam was created as a single new being. He was as “perfect” as all creation before him. But, he was given “God’s spirit” (a soul). Gen. 2:7-9, 16&17. HE was created to live INDEFINATELY within his special environment, the Garden of Eden. That’s why he was informed that it would be FATAL for him to eat from the “tree of knowledge of good and evil”. Gen. 2:17.
Eve was an afterthought so Adam would not be all by himself. Gen. 2:21,22
Meant to live indefinitely, Adam and Eve did NOT NEED to procreate! They had no sense or ambition of sexuality. Gen. 2:25. They were naked but not ashamed – innocent, without sin.
God gave them the power of choice, to obey his instructions or not.
After eating the forbidden fruit – also known as the “original sin” - they were sexually “activated” (Gen. 3:7-11 & 16) (they were ashamed! They covered them selves up!) and God had to change His plans for them. So Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden in order to KEEP THEM AWAY from the “TREE OF LIFE” which could have sustained their life (and that of now possible offsprings) indefinitely - Gen. 3:22-24.
They were now condemned to live their life in the outside world and procreate like the “creatures” (Neanderthals & Co.) created before them. (Gen. 3:16) They now also were destined to die like them.
Our bodies MUST follow nature's recycling laws. Our soul is eternal.

This is a training area. We have to make the most of what we are given. We have challenges that we must overcome. If we are loyal to God, we get Eternal Life.

indestructible?
the earth is overpopulated as it is. Can you imagine the chaos (not to mention lack of food and resources) if no one could die?

You would have to ask the man who created us in His image.

You cannot have life without death. Energy and nutrients need to recycle.

Because we are in the Matrix, and it has to kill us to upgrade its software without arousing suspicion.
