You know, I was thinking along those lines myself. Here on Earth, methane is produced by decaying organic material. So, how did so much methane just happen to be on Titan?

Where did it come from?

How is it produced in an environment like Titans?

If it does indeed have to be continually renewed, what's doing the 'renewing'?

This is significant. I believe methane is considered an 'organic molecule'.
