Spiritual death seems to imply to you that the individual is unable to recognize or function in any capacity whatsoever toward God. I think Adam and Eve's actions after being driven out of the Garden of Eden would indicate otherwise. They tried to serve God at least in some capacity, even though they were 'dead'. Further, it is well known that over 90% of people on earth believe in some form of 'higher power.' Now, I grant you that many of them have it wrong, but it seems pretty clear to me that God tugs at everyone's heart at some point in their physical life.

Do you have scripture about Adam and Eve " serving God" ? Note the first thing they did was hide from God..He had to go find them.Just like our father Adam we avoid God and He has to come and look for us!
