Was it the Phish CD spotted on Saturn’s coffee table? If so, Saturn just thinks it’s young.

Sounds like maybe the rings are just construction debris that hasn’t yet been cleaned up.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Jeff Cuzzi added that if the gravity difference indicated by the simulations was real, it would have propelled some of Saturn’s moons much farther out and certain rings would have comingled by now. Clearly, “the origin and age of Saturn’s rings has been a riddle for decades,” and its riddles remain to be deciphered.

Riddles are much more difficult to solve when you begin from the completely wrong conceptual starting point.

I have a friend at NASA who says the Casini spacecraft photographed a temple and a man and a woman living there.

It could be the next Adam and Eve.

NASA is covering this up because of the uproar it would cause.

The youthful features of Saturn and its rings are not puzzling at all, considering they were hung in the heavens about 6,000 years ago by the direct action of a Creator.

Is this an example of the creation research that is being done? I guess I was under the impression (from you) that creation research involved science.

Creation research, in this case, appears to be more like 'Houston, we have a problem, let's research the answer in the Bible." And then, voila, the very first words "God created the heavens and earth."

Research done and problem solved.

Saturn may be young, but with a ring that size, she’s not available...

[LRS]

But, but, I thought this science was settled also...

[stormer]

Wow. Too bad the article mentioned nothing about the age of Saturn, but only its rings. And was I the only on to catch that Brian Thomas M.S.* cites an article named Saturn's rings may not be as young as they look?

[spodefly]

Saturn is Number 1 on this weeks list of hot, sexy, young planets!

God as an exterior decorator.

It's also possible that the planet is a few billion years old and the youngish rings and moons are the result of a relatively recent collision of larger moons a few hundred million years ago.

So according to Brian Thomas, Saturn formed must have formed recently because he doesn’t understand why the rings aren’t shiny?

At least he didn’t major in journalism.

Oh dear. I should have read the article before posting my cutesy 'hot young Saturn' photo. I didn't realize what we were dealing with here ...

If everything in the universe is only 6k years old, then why did God try to fool all of us into thinking things are much older? Why were we robbed of that new universe smell?

Oh, well, if Brian Thomas at the Institute for Creation Research says so, then it must be so...

[mikrofon]

Saturn’s are indeed “young”, but the Lord of GM* has decreed that no more are to be created...

[varmintman]

Three or four of our planets including Earth, Mars, Saturn, and possibly one other have axial tilts set at around 25 degrees off the planet of the system; that’s what you’d expect when a larger system captures a smaller one, rare in the universe but not impossible. The ancient name “El” meant Saturn. All of the myriad biblical names and place names ending in ‘el’ meant something-or-other-Saturn: Isra-el, Rapha-el, Gabra-el, Dani-el... “Babel” meant “Saturn Gate” or something like that.

Planetary Quandaries Solved: Saturn Is Young

Not.

Wow! These guys really crank out the crap don't they.
