There was a tree of life that gave immortality. If Adam and Eve were created immortal, a tree of life was like balls on a priest. As soon as they were made mortal, God had five seconds to get them out of the garden lest they ate from it.
Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever...
Therefore Adam and Eve were NOT created immortal, they were naturally mortal, and the tree of life was for maintenance.
This is known as argumentum ad absurdam. And the Bible has plenty of such absurdities.
