We used to look into the heavens, and thought we saw what 'is', but
because of the scientific understanding of light, we now know are
looking at what was. Logically just follow the light back to the
source , then "voila".Greater mysteries are discovered
So much for large scale thinking.
Apply that to the images around you. They are all in the past also.
Only the observer is present.
See what I mean?

Do cockroaches see us as god?
Cockroaches can outlive humans through pretty much anything, but I've
never heard anyone say they can outlive god.

What does "outliving" have to do with the issue?
The cockroaches are our biological siblings,
far closer than any putative gods.
Get the cockroaches to practice more than simple stories
and they are closer still.
The hubris humans support does a lot of damage to our
perception of "reality".

To be honest, nothing. The thought just came to me and I typed it. :)
