Carbon is the 4th most common element. Mixed with the most common, hydrogen, we get hydrocarbons. Methane is arguably the most common hydrocarbon in our solar system. Much of the methane on earth is arguably not biological in origin.
What is your problem with the concept of non-biological methane?

Much of the methane on earth is arguably not biological in origin. I guess the next question is by what processes and under what conditions does carbon bond with hydrogen?
