Are hydrocarbons renewable?

Are hydrocarbons "renewable", and if so, what does that mean for the future of the world's oil and natural gas supplies?

This question is critical due to the enormous amount of coverage the issue of "Peak Oil" is receiving from the mainstream press.

If the supply of hydrocarbons is renewable, then contrary to the conventional wisdom being touted throughout the mainstream press today, the world is NOT running out of oil.

Gimme ten gallons of dead dinosaur
Geologists have long believed that the world's supply of oil and natural gas came from the decay of primordial plant and animal matter, which, over the course of millions of years, turned into petroleum.

However there have actually been for quite some time now two competing theories concerning the origins of petroleum. One theory claims that oil is an organic 'fossil fuel' deposited in finite quantities near the planet's surface.
