We literally make shit happen. To make things worse, the eficiency is a paltry 10% per trophic level. That means that it takes 1000 lbs of grass to make 100 lbs of zebra, 10 lbs of cheetah, and 1 lb of buzzard. There is no evidence that we interact with any form of Divine or supernatural energy. This is exceptionally good evidence that you are evolved biochemistry, not Divine creation.
Actually, those terms creates a overoptimistic impression of how much energy we extracted, and how little energy remains in the excrement that’s could have been extracted,but were left extracted by the ad hoc process jerked hither and tithes By an chaotic array of circumstances rather than intelligently controlled and optimized.
People don’t burn cow patties for fuel because it was low energy and cow digest was efficient.
