I can't remember who said/intimated, that a scientific Law and Theory are synonymous it's just that a Law can said in pithy statement. These have lots of evidence to support statements, have stood the test of time and even remain Laws and theories when evidence has been found to show them as inacurate - eg Newton's Laws.
> -Law and Theory are not synonymous. A law must have a mathematical description attached; the law of gravity on earth (9.8m/s) or Boyle's law. -Theory is an explanation that has been well tested and is agreed to fit the data. Evolution is a theory and not a law for precisely the reasons stated above.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
