A question about Saturn and it's rings for ATHEISTS

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-27] [Hit: ]
Clouds cause the rain. Similarly Saturn causes its rings. Just because it rains when it is cloudy does not prove that God exists! Neither does the fact that Saturn has rings.You could try admiring and understanding Gods handiwork like we astronomers do, instead of seeing every happenstance in the heavens as an opportunity to use God as a plug to stuff into every perceived gap in our knowledge.......

Saturn's rings (there are thousands of them), are composed of motes of ice. They are only held in a ring shape because Saturn's gravity holds them in that shape. It did not happen that way be sheer chance.

Do you think it is a coincidence that it rains heavily only when it is cloudy? Same principle. Clouds cause the rain. Similarly Saturn causes it's rings. Just because it rains when it is cloudy does not "prove" that God exists! Neither does the fact that Saturn has rings.

You could try admiring and understanding God's handiwork like we astronomers do, instead of seeing every happenstance in the heavens as an opportunity to use God as a plug to stuff into every perceived gap in our knowledge. I really think God deserves better than that, don't you?

Cheers!

If you think the ring existed alone as an independent entity and Saturn just happened to pass through the centre you are simply deluded. The ring is gravitationally bound to Saturn. It formed around Saturn. It will eventually dissipate around Saturn, but it could never exist without the gravity of Saturn.

So either you are completely ignorant about the reality of Saturn's rings, or you are simply a troll.

The rings came after Saturn, it's Saturn's gravity that formed them in the first place.

For one, I'm Christian and I do believe in God, but Saturn never simply passed through these rings, if it wasn't for Saturn they simply would not exist...

I don't happen to know what you are talking about, but here is a book with a lot of things you maybe didn't know about Saturn. It's a big book, but you can skip around since every chapter is independent.

Okay, now you explain where you found that incredibly stupid idea that the rings existed first and and Saturn moved into them - we have got to shut down those people who have no knowledge of gravity or even common sense
