I can see the religionist answer to this one already: God IS aware of everything, and he is aware that he his aware of everything.

Since Omni-awareness is a condition requisite for omniscience, omniscience is possible [Plato enters, stage right], and since everything that is possible has a necessary existence, there is a necessary Being who is omniscient.

We call this Being 'God.'

(Never mind that the above has logical holes you could throw an angry dog through, or that it puts a polish on meaningless tautology - it IS how the Godists will respond).
