Why does Saturn have rings?

If gravity works by pulling everything to a single point (planets centre), then what’s keeping the rings on their specific axis? Shouldn’t it be an even layer of debris around the planet?

It is a single point, but the point is the center of the planet. So anything orbiting around that point is subject to gravity and thus will stay in orbit.
