Are you claiming Adam and Eve were already mortals--and they would have died anyway?

Genesis 2:24-25---King James Version (KJV)
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked,
the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
