How do you know?  The Rambam says they are intelligent; what grounds
exist to question that?

The moon may not have its own light now that it diminished itself;
that doesn't mean it didn't have its own life beforehand, or that it
won't when it's restored to its former glory.  (BTW there are mekoros
that say the moon still has its own light, that only shines when it's
stimulated by sunlight.)
