A question about Saturn and it's rings for ATHEISTS

What about agnostics, why can't they answer? And what about monotheists, why are you leaving those out of your question? Or polytheists, for that matter?

You're such a jerk.

Roche Limit.

lol if u wanna prove ur religion is more accurate than an Atheist's than don't forget to STUDY before u make us Christians look dumb... er....
becuz these Atheist folks are killin u with all that information...
too bad Christians can't devote themselves to studying more about their religion... idk maybe that's why Atheists came about... they studied the Bible... lol

I'd say we've been punked. Too obvious.

they are related to the rings around uranus

I can explain your statement easily - it's wrong. 'Nuff said.

First off, if you want a answer from atheists, I understand they hang around in R&S. This is Astronomy and Space, where, in addition to atheists, you will find people from all the major religions on the planet, and probably a good many of the minor ones. When you stumble in here like a drunken lemur and post a question like that, you make it harder for those of us who are both religious and scientific to be taken seriously. Thanks a whole bunch for that.

To give you an actual answer, there is a distance from any planet (called the "Roche limit") inside of which a large body is unable to form, and if a body wanders in and stays within the Roche limit, gravity will eventually tear it apart. (Note that I said "large body". People, and anything we've built, are small enough that we can survive being within the Earth's Roche limit. A body like the moon could not.)

When we look at Saturn's rings, they are inside the Roche limit. That explains where they came from--either they were never able to form a moon, or were a moon that got too close.

Without a gravity source to orbit around, a ring would not stay in place--it would spread itself out over time.

I think that brilliant amatuer astronomer has dashed your theory. There are many more things everyday that bear witness to the hand of God so I guess this one has a plausible explanation . Look at the big picture-- how or how not the rings manifested - there is only one Creator who designed it all
