Maybe for the most fleeting instance one could catch the dimmest glimpse ...it truely being that great. To even begin to think on that "higher plane" of "meta~awareness" of this entire localized sequence of just our own planet would be to wrap your mind around counteless eons of ongoing time regarding the geological & the cosmological (constant meteor strikes , solar winds, moon formation, cooling , water formation , magnetic core for the first 200mil yrs or so... etc ) ....and only then after comes the ages upon ages of the rise of the first rudimentary biological structures. One could easily agree just thinking for one instant of all this as Darwin may have , one could allow God to still remain in the equation , just for the astounding scope of it . Just that we can now peer that far into the distance , does make us "Godlike " . True awareness would be that awareness which encompasses the total "all & everything" , no more no less , and that goes back a long long ways . Looking at just our own forms themselves and the structure of which contains so much complexity of systems , that on the molecular level we would appear as vast as the universe itself, something most medical professionals are "aware". Yet to know too much about ourselves & this world , does it risk us becoming too bored , too blase ? Or does it teach us "meaning" from being so aware , and what meaning would that needs be ?
