Too much God for me.
I see it more in a science reality.
As you view science, realize one simple truth that will become abundantly clear soon. Leaving consciousness out of light is blasphemy against the Spirit of God. Science calls light a duality of particle and wave, but adamantly denies that spirit is there in the light. By denying this fundamental of the origination of matter, they deny a creator. We now know better. Quantum physics continues to imply the reverse. Light is a Trinity.
Father (Light / Infinity / Energy, which is information)
Son (Word / Wave / Information / Law)
Holy Spirit (Consciousness) God is the Great I AM
What three things are necessary for the letters I type to enter your screen? Energy is moved in Time and Space by wavelength. Information forms the mechanism for the process. Consciousness is on either side of the connection, but not the mechanism itself.
If you enjoy your science, as I do, don't forget that the source is always greater than that which flows from it. Nothing rises above its source.
There is no need for me to put it in bible perspective. I don't need to dumb it down with mythology.

How would your science mindset fit consciousness into the duality of light? If light is particle and wave, how does collapsing wave function produce consciousness from inert matter? Is the Copenhagen interpretation, Everett's Many World's Theory, or another theory accurate to the argument? How does evolution lead to consciousness and sentient matter that can self reflect on light?

You are contradicting yourself. If everything is made of knowing, why would things need a knower?
Most people do not realize that all things are consciousness. Things do not need humans to see them in order to exist. This is taking the ego to the extreme...

Knowing does not produce existence. A comatose man is not what we would call "knowing", and yet not only does he exist, but everything around him exists to. Earth still exists, with or without his "knowing".
Knowing does not produce existence...but it does produce awareness of that which exists. And even so, knowing is only what we perceive to be correct within our own minds. I have always had qualms with the term "know"...especially since we've become so lax with our lingual accuracy.

Most of the universe is made of dark matter/energy. Only 4% of the universe actually contains light energy which is mostly gas like suns and stars. There is also no empty space, all so-called "empty space" is really dark energy. 99.9% of all atoms are empty space, thought!
People say that darkness is just the absence of light, but is this really true?
We already know that dark MATTER is an invisible SUBSTANCE that repels and distorts light. So darkness can not just be the absence of light. It is actually SOMETHING distorting and repelling light. It is an invisible substance.
Without the act of observation nothing can appear to exist.

We're the ones who decided the universe needed meaning.
Animals all over the world have gotten along just fine without deciding they needed a god to worship, or trying to figure out what lies among the stars...

Observance is not necessary for existence. Observance is only necessary for KNOWLEDGE of existence...and even then, that knowledge of existence is purely subjective based upon how you see that which exists. And even your perception of how it exists does not effect how it actually exists.
