Moral subjectivism is the belief that moral values are subjective (as opposed to objective). Since moral laws refer to the actions of sentient beings, it is difficult to conceive how they could originate by unconscious natural mechanisms. I believe the existence of objective moral values is implausible (not impossible) on a purely naturalistic account of the world. Given that moral subjectivism is just as logically viable as moral objectivism and that moral objectivism is implausible if a scientific naturalism is true, I think that there is a good case for the nonexistence of objective moral values.
