By the way, the Rambam I quoted before is in the Guide, 1:34. It reads as follows:
???? ?? ??? ??? ??? ?? ?? ????? ???? ????, ??? ???????? ?? ??? ????, ??? ??????? ????? ???? ?????? ???????, ??????? ??? ????? ?? ?????? ?????, ??? ?? ???? ??? ??? ?????? ??????; ??? ???? ?? ???? ??? ?????? ??? ?? ???? ??? ???-? ????? ?? ??? ???-?, ?? ??? ?????? ?? ??? ?? ????? ???? ?????.
This idea is also found in Emunos V’deos of R’ Saadya Gaon, in Chapter 6 of the introduction, and in the Sefer Ha’ikkarim of R’ Yosef Albo, 1:2.
