No, angels and humans have different natures and purposes. Hebrews 1:

And to which of the angels has he ever said, 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet'? Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
They inhabit different dimensions of the universe.

Psalm 8:

What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
In some sense man is lower than the angels but only temporarily.

1 Corinthians 6:

3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!
While angels are more powerful now, the redeemed humans will eventually judge angels and be elevated above them in status.

Rather than being "more divine," angels have different roles and natures. Angels serve God as messengers and servants, while humans are adopted as children and heirs.
