Thought I had. If you want to take an upper limit, figure the Earth intercepts ~700 watts/m^2 of solar energy (perpendicular to incoming sunlight), multiply by pi * (radius of earth ^2) * efficiency of photosynthesis, and convert to calories.

But of course, like the "Answers in Genesis" folks, observed facts stand no chance against faith.
