First of all, the planet can only support the amount it does today due to oil. Since that's about to reach a peak in production I doubt your argument can hold true. Petroleum based agricultural products has allowed from the increase in crop production. World fisheries are on the verge of collapsing due to over fishing. If you think the Earth was meant to support such a large population you are grossly mistaken.
