sweet, that's what i've been using

3 page essay on evolution and the human mind due in less than 5 hours...😀 procrastination to the max!
 
Wait, you want to say "the theory of evolution has not been proven"?

Quick, lets start a creationism vs. evolution flamewar!
 
Proven is the past participle form (has proven / has been proven). Proved is the past form (He proved his statement yesterday).
 
generally "proven" and "proved" are overused. Technically theories can not be "proven", they can only be supported. Theories can be misproven though.

Ok, how about dived or dove. I've been reading Harry Potter to my daughter and they keep saying dived. It just doesn't sound right.

They can be misproven, true. They can also be disproven. 😀
