yes. the Phlogiston theory of combustion is no longer considered correct. The same is true of the Geocentric theory of the Solar system, or of the Flat Earth theory.

How is Scientific law and scientific theory diffrent?
A scientific law is the description of a recurring event that occurs in nature. A scientific theory is an explanation of the law. The law does not change, but the theory may change when new data indicate that it needs to.
Does a scientific law have to be a theory first?
A scientific law is the last step in a series of steps that starts with an observation and a possible theory of why is it or how is it happening.
Can scientific theory be disproved?
Yes. If a scientific theory cannot be "falsified" - that is, proven to be not true - then it isn't "scientific". A scientific theory will always lead to some tests that can be performed. If the test fails - that is to say, if your theory doesn't behave in accordance with the experimental results - then we can say that the theory is "disproved". This is the problem with a lot of the "global warming" and "global climate change" hysteria; the computer models for climate change make a number of predictions, but the models don't behave as predicted. The global climate change theory is, if we judge by the results of the models, disproved.
How is a scientific law unlike a scientific theory?
scientific law is unlike a scientific theory in a sense that its the next step above a scientific theory.A scientific law is one that has been proven, a scientific theory has not been proven yet.
How would theory distinguish a scientific theory from a scientific law?
By not doing nothing
Under what conditions can a scientific model or theory change?
