Those who have not seen them or talked to them nevertheless have no doubt that there are people on those moons also, since they are equally terrestrial bodies. And where a terrestrial body exists, so does the human being; for the human being is the end for the sake of which a terrestrial body exists, and the Supreme Being has created nothing without that end in view. Anyone who thinks rationally can see that the end for which creation exists is the human race, in order that heaven may be formed from it. The angels also say that a terrestrial body without the human race cannot remain in existence, since it is for the sake of the human being that God provides everything on such a body.
