anyone who has gotten into existentialism, even a little, believes in using too many big words

Okay, I got to thinking about it later and this is a little unfair. If you go back to Plato or Aristotle or the like you'll find a tendency for this kind of thing. I just tend to connect the verbosity of the philosophical vernacular to the Existentialist due to the extremities to which they aspire in the field. That and they annoy the shit out of me...
How 'bout this then?

Can you scientifically prove that morals exist?

Can you scientifically prove redness exists? Red is what we all agree to call the color of the smilie on the top right of the smilie box when we relply. Moral is what we all agree to call actions that we consider just and good. Asking for scientific proof is like questioning if morals exist at all. I think we're past that.
