no, its true. The theory goes something like this:

microorganisms convert CO2 into organic molecules (ie methane (the smallest alkane), etc). And, high pressure miles beneath the surface of the earth , in the presence of natural zeolites (cavitated minerals which catalyze the formation of longer chain alkanes) forms a potentially renewable source of oil.

Still, we need to ask if we are burning it faster than it gets created. It becomes a dynamic equilibrium problem. However, this would be a much better scenario than dino dukey theory.
