Why do people have to die everyday? What's the point in life anyways? I mean, you have your life right? But then, people are dying everyday, people are getting murdered, and people die from natural causes.

Did you ever wonder why some trees and animals out live humans? Why do we grow old and die? GOD created humans with a yearning to live forever. Indeed, the Bible says that he put “a sense of eternity in their hearts.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11, Beck) But God did more than give humans the desire to live forever. He also gave them the opportunity to do so.
Our first parents, Adam and Eve, were created perfect, with no defect in mind or body. (Deuteronomy 32:4) Imagine—no chronic aches and pains, no morbid fears or anxieties! Furthermore, God placed them in a lovely paradise home. God purposed that man would live forever and that in time the earth would be filled with his perfect offspring.
God commanded Adam: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.” (Genesis 2:16, 17) , Tragically, however, Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s law. (Genesis 3:1-6) In doing so, they became sinners.
when pronouncing sentence upon Adam and Eve, God said: “Dust you are and to dust you will return.” Our first parents were then expelled from their Paradise home. On the day that they sinned, Adam and Eve began the slow but steady process of dying.—Genesis 3:19, 23, This should help also you can get further information by going to jw.org.
When Adam disobeyed God and was sentenced to death, Adam paid a very high price. He lost his special friendship with Jehovah, his perfect life, and his Paradise home. (Genesis 3:17-19) Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, so there was no hope for them. Because of what Adam did, “sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” (Romans 5:12) When Adam sinned, he “sold” himself and us into slavery to sin and death. (Romans 7:14) Is there any hope for us? Yes, there is. The Ransom sacrifce of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!
Every body has to die, every living organism has to die because that's how this universe has been created. But only the living organisms die, the mountains don't die, the oceans don't die, they do not have life like you and me. So why do we have to die? Because the body returns to dust. This is how the creator has planned it, we come on to this earth, we do our karma or actions and then we die. Based on our actions, the mind and ego is reborn again and again, the cycle goes on and on. The objective of this cycle is to realize we are not the one who dies, we are not the one who is reborn, the objective of this drama is to realize we are a manifestation of God, to be liberated from this cycle and to be united with God. Unless we die again and again we will not escape from rebirth and it is only after we die that we can be united with God.
Maybe try being more specific next time? Thanks...
