Because Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. Jehovah gave them one commandment, "From every tree in the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die." Well, as I'm sure you know, Eve ate some of the fruit when tempted by the snake, and gave some to Adam, and therefore, they had broken the one rule that God had given them. And because the broke that rule, their punishment was death. Because we are all ancestors of Adam and Eve, we all inherited death and sin. But there will be a time when death will be no more, so if you would like to learn about that, then email me and I would be glad to tell you!

I'm not sure I understand your question. Death is a biological certainty for living organisms. As a body ages, the systems become less capable of repairing damage and they eventually fail. It is possible that science will one day figure out how to "fix" genes that cause us to age, but this will only help us live longer. As far as we know, immortality is purely the realm of science fiction and has no place in reality.

Yes. Old age is written into our DNA- there are a limited number of times each cell can divide- this is because each division results in errors, which eventually can cause cancer or other dysfunctions- so cells shut off after a certain number of divisions. As we age this results in general system failure as the body loses its ability to heal and regenerate.

Living forever would get boring eventually.
Our bodies do wear out, and die eventually.
But for those who have accepted Christ as Savior and are ready to meet him, death is not something to fear.
We will have new bodies in heaven and there will be no more death.

YES. Our bodies wear out if they did not it would violate entropy. BUT we may (some day) be able to transfer ourselves into another body.
Hey down there - do you REALLY believe God works in mysterious and wonderful ways. I DO NOT. God if it exists is a sadistic SOB and does not even know it. Damn, another answer disappears.
Hey Skipper if everyone you met is dead who be typing all these questions and answers.

Everything goes except God. Everything is illusion and only God exist. So if you exist then you are God, and you'll always exist and have always existed. It's only the illusion of being a body along with the entire universe that you think you exist in that dies:

Immortality (except for the reproductive cells) is not necessary for evolutionary success, and has its costs. It is not evolutionarily advantageous to spend resources on useless features. (Consider the blind fish in some California caves.)

It's the nature of flesh.
Every breath we take is killing us slowly.
Oxygen is necessary for life but it literally oxidises our cells in the same way that iron is oxidised and rusts away
