[MD] Science and Values

The brain reaches a certain level of complexity and "oops," you get
consciousness. 

[Arlo]
And how do you see the MOQ disputing this? Did "consciousness" exist before the
brain reached a certain level of complexity? If so, where? Where was
"consciousness" ten million years ago?

I gather what this boils down to is "preconceived intent", where any "theory"
that does not pay homage to an external, "quasi-sentient" planner/controller is
to be ridiculed as being "value-free". If I am right, then the ONLY answer you
would accept from science is "a designer made consciousness", worded in various
ways but that would be the jist. 

"Quali-god" or "oops". Sorry, you can have that argument with someone else.
