Science assigns values all the time. You could only be reasserting that they can't assign -these- values.....but without justification as to why these values are different from some other value science assigns, that's nothing more or less than special pleading. I, personally...don;t have a refutation of moral naturalism. I accept that moral facts and properties are natural facts and properties. What else could moral properties be? Are there some other kind of facts and properties?
I would prefer to be flat out wrong in any context, thank you, if I am indeed wrong. Being wrong in the context of hedonism is easy. Anyone who accepts a different monistic theory does that. I'm going to call bullshit on your question-begging accusation. It's not bullshit because I'm not a hedonist. It's bullshit because the argument from the scientific test of reality makes a valid point. If morality is objective, then scientists ought to have caught wind of it. Have they? No. Is it for lack of trying? No. If scientists could prove moral realism, that would be their first order of business.
