Wow, that is twisting things around and around again. It is not an assertion. Their belief is that only the material exists. Are you suggesting that they being complex and dynamic makes then of great value? The mouse is complex and dynamic, do they have equal value of a human?Oh, sometimes you can be right about that and sometimes you can be wrong. It's striking that you have nothing to add to your mere assertion that they cannot do what they do. You cannot conceive of someone asserting that a sack of chemicals can be complex enough and dynamic enough to be of great value. And yet, for someone to assign a value is up to them to assign the value, and you have no logical reason to deny them that personal right.
I have every logical reason to point out the inconsistency of their beliefs. They can't believe they have no mind other than the brain, no absolute moral standard, no actions that they chose themselves and no true emotions other than what their hard wired brain already determined and then claim they are rational, moral and care for others when their worldview doesn't include that. They are the ones that devalue themselves and others by holding that position. They know that worldview doesn't fit with reality. They know that they have an absolute standard for morality, they know they can think rationally, they know they can love and they know that they can decide for themselves what choices to make; but they deny it with their materialistic worldview all the while thinking, being moral, loving and making choices.
