Excerpt from Philosophy of Creation: Unfolding the Laws of the Progressive Development of Nature, and Embracing the Philosophy of Man, Spirit, and the Spirit World
Astronomers tell you that the sun, moon and stars are worlds, composed of elements like those Of earth, some of equal, others of greater magnitude than earth; and moreover, that, while the earth is lighted, &c., by those planets, they likewise are lighted by earth. The earth is but one of an indefinite number of worlds, forming a vast planetary system.
From the innate properties of matter any sensible man would infer that these various worlds must be the theatres of life, of animal and vegetable life, adapted to their various situations, conditions, &c.: and indeed it would be a disparagement of the wisdom of God, to sup pose that all these worlds were created by him without Object or aim; for I can confidently assure you that many, very many of them are so remotely located from the earth, that it is neither favored nor benefited by their light. Were they created without an aim, with out an object? I answer, no. God never created aught unless to subserve an end.
