For me this one is logical. Because consciousness as we understand is an outworking or byproduct of an intelligent mind and the world is intelligible (can be understood and has order and laws) then the first cause must be an intelligent mind and therefore conscious. Only intelligent minds with conscious can bring forth ordered, purposeful complexity.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
