Better to stick with just sunlight though, as water is a limited resource and will just lead to people fighting over it when it is scarce. Better yet, how about sunlight and nitrogen, freely available in the air.

Yes, but issues. Energy is boundless. It dissipates. How to propose to stop that from happening? I thought about it. I can't imagine a means of doing so. You could be like a capacitor, but how to create the differentiation of the parts? Those parts would need chemicals to form into structures and would have to be deposited by some form of absorbtion. It's just like eating, for all chemical processes result in waste products and so excretion. Euglena use sunlight. [link to en.wikipedia.org] They're autotrophs but also ingest, so fail. Their bodies are extemely limited, so unless you'd like being a unicellular organism, then nope. All life uses water in some form. You need a process of creating and maintaining water. You need a process that removes any cellular wastes deposited by dying species. We have species that do that trick. An energy being would die and release their energy. Usually a release of energy is difficult to control. It could cause the death of other energy creatures. It seems implausible based upon physics. In order to use sunlight, requires structures like chloroplasts, and these require other organic compounds, so again you need metabolism and digestion. To use nitrogen, for what purpose? Breathing? If so, you need respiration, and that always produces cellular wastes and by product gases, and therefore you need metabolism and digestion, as well as circulation, and specialization. Nope...fail.

It could be said to consume and as such is undergoing a kind of self-annihilation over time. [link to imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov] While the Gaia Hypothesis posits the potential for an entity to exist as a planet, and while it's theoretical for a star to also be an entity as well, so far we have no proof of such ideas. And still, who is to say that God didn't create those as beings too? Who knows? However it would be a lonely life so isolated from other beings of that size.

Dude, you're missing OPs point. If there a LOVING God created this system, then why the need to eat to survive? The fact that animals must consume food to survive does not allow for a "loving" environment, but instead an environment of competition. So, either God does not exist or God is not loving.

The differentiation of cells is what allows specialization of tissue to occur. That can't happen with nourishment. Food is consumed by all life, even simple plants that use their roots to absorb nutrients from the soil. Are you asking for a barren world devoid of the diversity of species? For without the array of creatures to live and die and so form soil or serve as nutrition for other species, there is no food chain.
