Both forms are correct as the past participle of “(to) show”.

Well, I have, but you prefer to ignore all the evidence, including this 
thread.

How very eloquent.

Unfortunately, you do not realize that seeking the truth is anything but 
childish when the latter term is understood in a negative way.  However, in 
fact, attempting to deride something by calling it “childish” ignores the 
fact that children are usually and naturally more eager to learn, and to 
check and replace their misconceptions, than adults – a quality that you 
seem to have lost.  You do well in the other area that is usually attributed 
to immaturity, though: not listening to factual arguments, and posing with
ad hominem arguments instead.

I think I will stop discussing with you before you make a threat referring 
to your big brother, and you cause the level of discussion to drop below the 
gutter.
