If beauty doesn't require God, why should morality? (Bite me Dr. Craig.)

It isn't someone else's eyes or ears you experience things with, and it isn't someone else's brain that processes that information. So I suppose the only other requirement for subjective experience to exist is for the universe to be one that -can be- experienced. That sets the bar pretty low, doesn't it?
I'm not talking about whether experience is or isn't subjective. Of course it is. I'm talking about why there IS a subjective anything rather than a lack of it. What about this universe, which is supposed to be a deterministic interplay of four fundemental forces and energy in different states over time, requires/allows anything like a subjective perspective?

"red" -is- "processing it". That's why you and I probably don't have the same color in mind when we say "red" - even though we're talking about the same spot on the spectrum.
So what color are x-rays? To a computer which has a physical apparatus which can measure them, they presumably are not a color at all. Just input, processing, output.
