Yes I agree entirely they're human constructs, but humans have named many things, and I agree with Mark's take on things. Whether or not humans have named things as good or evil doesn't really matter, although as a species it's a very good tool for communication to have things labelled, but evil acts and good acts are present in the human existence nonetheless.
