A death of innocence for sure! Kind of like children now when they start learning and they start seeing how things are in this world. The innocence dies, the knowledge begins and part of life is now death... I believe the more knowledge we gain and the more things we learn.... we die a bit more inside before we literally die.

This is a tough one for most. The Hebrew word for "day" can have multiple meanings. It can mean a 24 hr period, or a certain prolonged period of time, such as "in my father's day."
Here is the key to understanding....
2 Peter 3:8 KJV — But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
In some passages, a "day" then may mean 1000 years in the Lords estimation.
Now see....
Genesis 5:5 KJV — And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Adam died at age 930. Thats well within one of the Lords "days" of 1000 earth years.
930 < 1000
So Adam died in the same "day" that he ate the forbidden fruit.
Genesis 2:17 KJV — But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Spiritual death, loss of covenant relationship with God.

One could take it that the people they were *did* die, then and there.
Or, that they were made for immortality and earned the gift of death that day.
