yes, I guess death is unnatural. For a body to wear out without being able to properly replace bad cells is not natural. But what about falling to one's death? Gravity is natural. So is an object being crushed when enough force is put on it. And walking around with a crushed skull can't be natural...
You've given me an interesting discussion topic. Thank you. Maybe I'll get back to you.
Death is unnatural, and yet all the food we eat was once alive and then died. Life is built on death.
Cancer or mutation is unnatural, and yet evolution operates through mutation... Life is built on mutation.
You said you believe Lucy was the first sinner, so I take it you also have incorporated evolution into your belief system.

If you put a limited amount of resources into a petri dish filled with bacteria, the bacteria proliferate and over time exhaust their resources, pollute the environment, then begin to mutate, and then die off. This process is both natural and predictable. The same limitation of resources is what causes cancer.

In the same way our world is in the process of dying out. The world is overpopulated, society is proliferating the human population rapidly... We are exhausting our resources, people are strained, and humanity is out of touch with nature. Sin is a mutation or cancerous adaptation that occurs within a strained environment. This is all a result of limited resources and social strains placed onto people. The problem of sin, cancer, and mutation is as natural as the bacteria proliferating in a petri dish.
