Can the Universe Exist without consciousness?

For all intents and purposes a god may exist, but to entertain the notion without any reason to do so is pointless.

Without anyone in it, all the universe would be is a useless place in which everything that happened within wouldn't matter because the universe would end in blackness for eternity (or repeat the process for eternity) and the time that all takes to happen would also be meaningless. There would be no point to the passage of time.

Time is a human construct anyway. What makes you think that by having conciousness things suddenly matter?
