[Lord of the Rings/Back to the Future] Would sending the one ring to the future count as destroying it?

Doc and Marty go back in time - way back, all the way to Middle Earth (as it was intended to be a distant past, let's just say, for the purposes of this thread, that's actually true in BTTF universe). Somehow Doc and Marty get the one ring and take it back to present day (or 1985 - it doesn't matter).  

Would that count as destroying the ring?  There'd be about 6,000 years where the ring did not exist. Would Sauron suddenly come back to life in present day (or 1985 - it really doesn't matter)?  Would that then also bring back the elves and Gandalf?

Taking the Ring to the future =\= keeping the ring from going back. The ring wishes to return to its master and tempts everyone into self destructing as it makes its way back. Introducing time travel only gives the ring, and thus Sauron (and through him Melkor), a tool that will irreversibly change the course of history. Marty was bad enough *without* a ring, he destroyed his life. Could you imagine what the ring would do to him? What about Doc who has some of the grandest ambitions?
