What we call knowledge is dependent upon observation. We are not always the best at observing things, and yet we are surprised often enough that they exist after all. Mans knowledge is impossible without consciousness, but the existence of the cosmos is not dependant on man (or any consciousness) having knowledge of it. Knowledge is the measured observation of existence. It's describing a thing, not prescribing a thing.
As an example. We describe gravity. Our description however has no ability to make gravity conform to itself. This is why we have been wrong about gravity before (and indeed could still be).
