However, here on earth, I buy into the "biogenic theory" (organic origin) for most petroleum.

Now, if you wish to go with the "abiogenic theory" (inorganic origin) of petroleum here on earth …. good luck finding enough to lubricate the engine of your car.

Next question:
IF organic materials can concentrate in such massive quantities on Titan from "a product of the chemical processing of primordial solar nebula material" then why wouldnt the early Earth concentrate similar materials in even greater quantities?
