Why would you assume that consciousness, whatever that means to you, arose in a single mutation? Do you mean a "consciousness" like our own? That took fair few more than one, so far as we can tell. On the other hand, how would you be proposing that consciousness was gained? Magic? When did that magic occur, does it occur at some indefinite point before (or during) every human birth? Are we the only "conscious" creatures? Assuming that this magic does not or did not occur at the moment of birth, if consciousness is somehow inherited as a part of this creators design then clearly biology (and evolution) are capable of handling that, because here we are, products of the same. I can't even see why a biologist is required on this one....it's pretty transparent. Creator as source of consciousness falls on ignorance, parsimony, and as always...a complete and deplorable lack of evidence.
(You seem to be attempting to rationalize a desire, in this case a desire for belief or faith, it might be useful to consider that our desires are not always rational, nor do they necessarily arise from reason. "I want there to be a creator" is probably the strongest -reason- you're going to be able to present.)
