[MD] Dawkins quotes RMP on religion.

[Krimel]

[Platt]
DQ is a moral force, NOT mathematical variables and operations. You should
know this. 

"Dynamic Quality is the pre-intellectual cutting edge of realty, the source 
of all things, completely simple and always new. It was the moral force that

had motivated the brujo in Zuni. It contains no pattern of fixed rewards and

punishments. Its only perceived good is freedom and its only perceived evil 
is static quality itself-any pattern of one-sided fixed values that tries to

contain and kill the ongoing free force of life." (Lila, 9)

When science identifies a moral source, do let us know.

[Krimel]
My personal view is that this is another example of Pirsig's unfortunate
choice of terms. He claims that a rock falling to the ground is a matter of
preference and values and that using such sloppy terms doesn't change the
meaning. But it does. It allows you to run around yacking about the lack of
moral codes in science when Pirsig has just said physics IS a moral code.
Math, biology, geology the whole lot ARE moral codes in the MoQ. 

In this particular context it is your impoverished notions of morality that
the MoQ rejects not science.
