Would consciousness or the ability of the universe to be able to support consciousness support the idea of creation?
Or would lack of consciousness be better evidence for the idea of creation

Or what if the creation and the creator are one and the same? What if this universe is just a manifest part of it, much like apples growing on a tree? And we, in turn, are apples growing on the tree that is Earth? (Credit goes to Alan Watts, for first making me aware of this comparison.) :)

It is having faith in the idea of creation that there is a Creator of all, a Creator behind the creation and a Creator that supports all systems and the universe. The universe and our world can't support itself without a Creator.

Nothing supports creationism. So how could anyone subscribe to it?

To support creationism, you would have to show something that existed but could never be explained by natural causes and all the evidence did not suggest natural causes.
As far as we can tell, this universe not only supported our consciousness and possibly those of other animals on our planet, but there is the potential for consciousness to have developed on hundreds of billions of planets and moons throughout the universe.

You speak as if there is something outside the universe to which we can appeal for principles of fittingness.

Yes, it does. Intelligence cannot come from non-intelligence. If it could there would be far more than one sentient being on this planet. The same holds true for consciousness or self-awareness. So the existence of intelligence or consciousness point to the existence of an intelligent, self-aware source who was involved in some way with creation in whatever method He chose to create.

Absolutely none of the repetitive questions you've posted today contain one single, solitary shred of an idea that could ever support creationism.
Give it up.
