So we dont over-populate the earth.
:)
So the tomb-stone industry can make money.
To make large cemetaries.
To feed the worms.
To decompose and make room for new life.

When Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge they immediately began dying. And human cells have gone through the process of division and death ever since. Many see this as a punishment, but, at the same time, I would certainly hate to live forever in sin. I see physical death not so much as an end as a transition into a new life.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD.

We die because we are mortal. It is the onething in this life we have no control over. This is the hope of Christ. That we may be resurected and recieve a perfect body like he has. One in which we will never tire, get sick, or hurt ever again. We will be restored to our perfect frame with out a hair out of place. So death is but a moment of waiting till the second coming of christ and the resurection of all man.

Would you want to live forever on this earth? I wouldn't. As you get older, you have health problems. It's not like you stay young and healthy.
You have a young soul in an aging body. My elderly aunt prayed to die when she was 90, could not hear or see, and had to have someone feed her and take care of her. Death was a release. Because she was a Christian, she went to Heaven. I'll see her again one day.
Dying is part of life, sweetness.
Take care of yourself, and enjoy life, ok?

There is a nice symmetry in this: Death initially came by a man, and resurrection from death came by a man. Everybody dies in Adam; everybody comes alive in Christ. But we have to wait our turn: Christ is first, then those with him at his Coming, the grand consummation when, after crushing the opposition, he hands over his kingdom to God the Father. He won't let up until the last enemy is down—and the very last enemy is death!
But let me tell you something wonderful, a mystery I'll probably never fully understand. We're not all going to die—but we are all going to be changed. You hear a blast to end all blasts from a trumpet, and in the time that you look up and blink your eyes—it's over. On signal from that trumpet from heaven, the dead will be up and out of their graves, beyond the reach of death, never to die again. At the same moment and in the same way, we'll all be changed. In the resurrection scheme of things, this has to happen: everything perishable taken off the shelves and replaced by the imperishable, this mortal replaced by the immortal. Then the saying will come true:
Death swallowed by triumphant Life!
Who got the last word, oh, Death?
Oh, Death, who's afraid of you now?
It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power. But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three—sin, guilt, death—are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God!

Our DNA is intentionally coded improperly to cause death.
The following has been brought to you by my brain. No factuality or scientific basis implied.
We die because after a certain age we are unable to reproduce, the meaning of life is to propagate the species, once you can no longer give birth or make children, you are on a decline towards the end. It's not beneficial to the species if beings continued to live for centuries after they are unable to conceive.

Our telomeres command it! Seriously, death is just God's way of telling us not to get too comfortable with our setup. Life is about change, and death is the ultimate change.
