Probably indicative of your shallow understanding of the topic.
So ill explain: Out of the total energy of a closed system, not all can ever be used, due to ...*drumroll* entropy.

How do you think our sun is able to "generate" all the energy it radiates into the solar system? How do you think nuclear friction or fusion are working (based on what mechanism/s)?
How do you think two colliding black holes / neutron stars are able to create gravitational waves?

Eating the cake and still have it.
Age old problem of apologists who are trying to be "reasonable" instead of just pointing to their holy book.
Personally i find this effort to be quite transparent, comical and ...unreasonable. At times i find the latter (apologists) more sympathetic, because they dont try to engage in as many argumental contortions than those who are trying to be "reasonable".
