Actually they did die. God originally created them to be immortal, but the introduction of sin caused physical corruption which led to eventual death. God didn't say they would die immediately, just that they would die. The Christian belief is that the inevitable death is countermanded by the reception of "new bodies" at the resurrection.
Not trying to be confrontational or preachy here, just pointing out a fact of the original story! Whether you believe it or not is up to each person to decide.
