I don't see it as a problem to be solved at all. I see it as an important and necessary feature that allows for growth and adaptation as a species. It's a good thing.

Dude, even setting aside the question of whether eliminating aging is a good idea (for the economy, for the species, etc), what makes you think nobody’s working on it?

And lol, easily solvable? Scientists have been trying to figure it out for well over a century (and non-scientists probably since the origin of the man race). They’ve made marginal progress so far.

Go do a web search or two.

We can get right to it after we solve deaths by mosquitoes (half of all humans born were killed by mosquitoes), deaths by automobiles, lifestyle (diabetes, cardio vascular), pollution from fossil fuels (10M deaths/year from air pollution).

In my view, the existence of God doesn't enter into it. My opinion would be the same whether God exists or not.
