No IF Saturn would have been ignited (or will be) it would become a small Sun and thus give life creating energy to Titan, a moon that looks a lot like Earth. This is what ACC envisioned only he used Jupiter... and Europa the Water World (moon)...
Problem is while Jupiter has the right proportions of Hydrogen to Helium as the Sun does... Saturn does not and it is doubtful that sustained fusion would occur
Here is the "Birth Sequence" as the planet ignites..
