Here's an interesting thought from Dr. Piper:

Infants die, therefore they are not innocent Death--both physical and spiritual--is a result of sin (Romans 5:12; 6:23). Thus, death only comes upon those who have sinned. Since infants die, they therefore must be sinners. It could be objected that Christ was sinless, and yet He died. But He willingly gave up His life, and He did it to conquer the curse of death that we were under. In fact, God imputed to Christ our sins on the cross, and Christ died in punishment of those sins.

What is the biblical evidence for original sin?

Now, if the reason we die is because of our sin nature, why do babies who are innocent die?

[P-Marlowe]

Dogs die too. Are dogs sinners? Fish die. Amoebas die. Viruses die.

Death is the result of ADAM's sin, not the result of an unborn child's sin.

Now, if the reason we die is because of our sin nature, why do babies who are innocent die?

Death entered the world through Adam's sin. All manner of evil things ebtered the world because of this. They are nto in our control, nor do they obey any rules of which we are aware. These powers, once unleashed, wreak where they will.

Bad things happen to good people.
