The planet earth is an open system receiving a constant input of high energy which is reradiated as more diffuse lower energy. As long as the Sun continues in its current profile, admitting something that will be true for a short time of most likely 10-100 million years, the Sun can be the source of energy which complex organic machines can convert to matter, which humans like almost all life on the planet then ingests and reconverts from matter to energy.
