So like a bug crazy rainbow no one would ever see because the cataclysm that cause the ring would have devasted all life (most likely, an asteroid).

EASY. original impact that created the moon was at slightly different angle; mass of moon less and orbit is within Roche limit … voila! rings instead of a moon. bill-yuns and bill-yuns of years ago still, so no impact on life.
unless you buy the theory that the moon’s tides were what caused life to form (tidal pools provided accumulation of clay at tidal boundaries, perfect matrix for primitive proteins. where the hell is Razib when i need him?)
