John 1.10

'He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.'

Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, who was God and was with God in the beginning, created the world and yet the world did not know him. The stones, the trees, the brute creatures cannot know him, are incapable of giving glory to God consciously, actively. Only in the very miracle of their existence do they give glory to God.
Even mankind, in its fallen state, is incapable of giving glory to God, blinded as we are by sin and self.
There are many who maintain that man is able to give glory to God, is able to perceive God, through his intelligence and through his conscience.
But man is blinded by his selfishness. In his dungeon of egotism man gropes about in the dark.
The Light of the World was in the world, a world made by Him. In the person of the Lord Jesus Christ the Word became flesh.
Left to his own devices  mankind would never see God. We would stumble around forever worshipping rocks and stones and idols of wood and vanity.
