Evolution is a 'natural' law.
EVOLUTION
Evolution is a scientific theory, it in itself is not a science.
There's no "the" law of evolution.There are various lawS of evolution though. For instance, it is a law of evolution that reproductively isolated populations will always diverge genetically.
Scientific evolution is the evolution of scientific methodology through time; from the first attempts to derive knowledge about the world through observation, to the first formal approaches to do so structurally, including experimentation, to the current system of research and publication, which includes a formal scientific ethos.
Charles Darwin
A theory, when proven over time, can become a law. Example: Law of Gravity and Theory of Evolution
A scientific law is an indisputable fact: there are no observances dictating it. For example, gravity is a scientific law. A scientific theory is simply a generally accepted explanation for a particular phenomenon or idea that cannot currently be proven or disproven. The structure of the atom and evolution are theories.
Scientific laws are actually part of scientific theories. A law is a succinct statement of some scientific principle, often in mathematical form. For example, within Darwin's theory of evolution, we find the law of survival of the fittest.
Evolution is a scientific theory, not a law. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence whereas a law describes a relationship in nature that is consistently observed. Evolution by natural selection is a well-supported theory in biology.

No scientific theory ever challenged the theory of evolution.

The law prohibiting the teaching of evolution was upheld
No. Scientific theories and laws are two very distinct groups with separate functions. A theory describes a phenomena, while a law explains it. For example, Newton's First Law EXPLAINS why objects in motion stay in motion with the idea of inertia. The theory of evolution DESCRIBES how organisms change over time.
