Since fossil fuel theory is an absolute and unassailable truth for the eternity, this the only conclusion that will and could be reached: Titan dinosaurs did it.

Biogenic formation is the most accepted explanation for the vast majority of petroleum reseves on Earth, mainly because of the presence of biogenic markers. However, abiogenic formation is not only possible but is acknowledged as the origins of several deep-crust deposits of methane and other hyrdocarbon gases.

Considering that Titan's conditions closely match those that are thought to be conducive to the abiogenetic formation of hydrocarbons, and that hyrdogen and carbon are known to be quite ubiquitous throughout the solar system, it is no scientific shock to find lots of petroleum on Titan.

Oh, and the closest thing to an 'absolute and unassailable truth' about 'fossil fuel theory' is that it didn't come from dinosaurs. If you really think that is what scientists say then you obviously don't read anything they write.

It is generally accepted that they formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants and animals. "Fossil fuels (oil, natural gas and coal - that's why they're called fossil fuels) were formed from vegetation and yes, dinosaurs, deposited during the Carboniferous through the Permian eras which extended 380 to 245 million years ago." -http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/ask_quester/answers_fossil_fuels.html, for example. And, on a final note, I don't really think all of that; terribly disappointed in having to point it out explicitly.
