It is true that humanity has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 6 billion in 2000, just 200 years. And it is also true that the earth has a limited amount of resources.
However, it is also true that UN predictions shows that fertility rates are going down in nearly every country in the world.
In this webpage, it shows population increasing but is doing so at a gradually decreasing rate

The human population may never double from 2000, toppling off at 11 billion and a majority of the population growth in the 21st century is expected to be from Africa. By 2100, Africa will have the same population density as China today and you never seem to hear of mass starvation in that country.
