I am getting in over my head here, but I believe a theroy is accepted but not proven.

You're right about this part... Once a theory is proven by observation or experimentation it becomes fact. Someon please correct me is that is not so.

You're wrong about this part. Theories are never proven. Theories are an attempt to explain "why stuff works". Theories are a general, broad explanation behind what causes observed phenomena. They can never be proven, however, they can only be supported strongly by evidence, refined as needed in light of new evidence or discarded if they are disproven (that is, if an event that the theory predicts will never happen is observed).

"Theories are never proven"

Really? Wow, that is somewhat surprising to me. But like I said I am in over my head.
