How does one saying "this is not proven; it's just a theory" differ from a
scientific theory? Not all scientific theories are proven. Having evidence
in support of a theory is not the same thing as proving a theory.\\


No scientific theory is proven right. A scientific theory can be proven
wrong. The point is that a scientific theory is testable, challangable
and falsifiable, empirically.
