Twisting scripture again huh? So now you don't believe God? The NIV gives a very good rendering here...
Gen 2:17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
Doesn't say they would die instantly, it says that if they eat from the tree, then they will incur the death peanlty and will die.

"For WHEN you eat of the tree, You will die"
Most people not trying to twist scripture to their own form of believ would understand this to mean When you eat it (the moment) You will die.
we have proof they died the moment also.
1. They tried to hide from God (the things of God were foolishness to them, Before they ate, they KNEW they could not hide, Now it is foolish)
2. They tried to blame others (the aspect of God knowing every thought and intention of the heart was foolish to them. where as before, they would have known God knows all)
3. They were ashamed (the sin in their life brought shame and regret. and they tried to hide this shame with fig leaves)
Some people will just never get it.
How did God show the way to restoration? How did he COVER their shame (sin) he killed an animal (the first death in all creation) and used its shed blood to cover them.. So when they were looked on, their shame (sin) could not be seen.
This is a perfect example of what God does for us.. But some people just will not hear it.
In adam ALL DIE.. I guess we do not need to be "made alive" in Christ, because we are already alive and not dead! (rolls eyes)
