I never said conscious cosmology. I just said cosmology. However, I believe that there is an extremely (and I do mean EXTREMELY) small chance that there is a creator. I believe there is a certain probability for everything. I do not believe in a creator, but I recognize that it is, is a tiny way, a possibility.
When physicists call the higgs a "god particle" they do not mean it created the universe. They mean it is a major link which explains how much of the universe works. Without its existence, we really have no way of explaining how the universe came to be the way it did and is.
I don't remember how, but it has been proven that the affect and actually cause its own cause if that makes any sense.
Consciousness is tricky. When you said it affects things in the physical world, I disagree. However, your consciousness can cause the physical aspects of your body to do something which affects the physical world. In essence, I guess that a cause doesn't necessarily need to have mass.
