Earth is not a closed syst...
I was going to talk about energy and mass balance and E=MC^2.. but I got bigger things to worry about.

Short answer..
dirt + water = food.
Food + water + baby = adult human.
Adult human + alcohol = adult human + more babies.
Adult human + food + age/“hold my beer” = dead human.
Dead human = dirt
So, no. Human mass is not generated
However, earth may be getting bigger due to cosmic activity and smaller due to mass to energy conversion.
