So, to be dead means to be separted from God.

But death isn't mentioned anywhere in those verses? You're saying that when Cain went out from the presence of the Lord he died?? The Isaiah verse is good, but again there's no death in the verse and nothing about the spirit of a man either?
If death means separation here, then why didn't God say to Adam "in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely be separated/cut off/disconnected", but He said "surely die". If nothing in Adam literally died, as in his spirit, then it becomes figurative, right?
