Or it can't, but neither can philosophy. It really depends on what you mean by "figuring out ethical and moral values." If you mean investigating current moral values and understanding how they come about, sure, you can do that. If you mean flashing out a moral system based on some basic values or perhaps a few desired consequences, again, you can do that. But if you mean determining what is RIGHT and WRONG in and of itself, then I'm afraid neither science nor philosophy can help you there.
