God says so when he expels them from the Garden: "Then the Lord God said, ‘See, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever’"
(Genesis 3:22, NRSV)

The word "curse" is used, but that doesn't mean God literally cursed the dirt.

Of course it doesn't...but then again you need evolutionism to work. This means once agin you gotta read it out of the bible.

Imagine if Adam had eaten from it in his now mortal state. Living forever in a state of sin

This has nothing to do with evolution. You are simply misunderstanding the wording used. Besides you can't take a curse against one single person and make it a curse for all people anyways.

What about forgiveness?
Here is something about how Eve might have been saved:
1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
1Ti 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Still, that's how it reads.
12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world,
and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--
I don't feel that a spiritual death would spread to all men,
and that all other men creatures would be guilty, as scripture states.

It has to be a spiritual death because that is the type of death one experiences when they sin, the same death Christ came to save us from....and all Christians since the first one has died a physical death despite being saved from death by Christ.
