It was not until AFTER they ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil that God kicked them out of the garden. BEFORE that, if they had eaten of the tree of life, they would have lived forever, and God wanted them to live forever in a sinless state of being, which is why He put the tree of life in the garden. But AFTER they ate the forbidden fruit and consequentially become subject to death, they were no longer sinless, and God had to kick them out because if they had eaten from the tree of life AFTER eating the forbidden fruit, they would have degenerated over the centuries into basically another Satan, so they became mortal.
