Just thought I would repost this for MysticKnight's benefit.
I think it addresses the issue of value from a biological perspective.
I highlighted the relevant part in bold for you.
No soul required.

So you say the value chain terminates at the conditioned reflexes people have because of a change outcome within an indifferent universe.
I wish I could say yes or no to that but I'm not sure I understood it.
In essence what I am saying is that once life formed (however that happened) then it developed a sense of value instantly - in that it instantly strove to survive and therefore valued existence higher than non-existence or death.
As life got more complex so did the understanding, and need, for value.
I'm not sure indifference is the right word for the inanimate universe as indifference implies that it could care. The universe can no more "care" than can a door.
