A law is known to be true. There is no dispute about it. A theory is disputable. Gravity is a law, the Big Bang is a theory.
This concept is based on a scientific principle rather than a theory or law. It is known as the relationship between lightning and thunder, where the sound of thunder follows the flash of lightning due to the rapid expansion and contraction of air molecules caused by the intense heat of the lightning.
Despite what Creationist would have you believe (when debating other topics) theory does not mean hypothesis or speculation. In science, a theory is an explanation of the natural world that is well-substantiated by evidence. This includes a number of explanations that are so well-substantiated by evidence that there is virtually no doubt among scientists that it is the correct explanation. These include the theory of plate tectonics, the thoery of evolution, atomic theory, and germ theory.
In science, a theory is the highest denomination that can be given to an idea. In other words, the big bang theory will never graduate into the big bang law. Instead, laws are used as explanations that govern theories. Example: gravity is a theory which is described by Newtonian laws.
Although it is proven and true, there is a .00001% that is could be false. So therefore it can't be a scientific law. That makes it a theory. There are very few scientific laws and only obvious facts are scientific laws. Like gravity.
The Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, is commonly observed in nature, such as in the arrangement of leaves, petals, and seeds in plants.
Mostly semantics. A "law" is a theory that can be expressed mathematically.
Scientific law means it WILL happen and i don't remeber scientific theroy. Sorry!

A scientific law is a statement of a pattern that has been observed. A theory is an explanation that has stood up to repeated test.
A scientific theory is an explanation supported by evidence and can be modified as new evidence is discovered. A scientific law is a description of a natural phenomenon that is consistent and often expressed mathematically, without explaining why it happens.
A scientific theory is an explanation of some natural phenomenon. A scientific law is a succinct statement of some aspect of a scientific theory.
A scientific theory is an explanation of some natural phenomenon. A scientific law is a succinct statement of some aspect of a scientific theory.
A natural law is an empirical observation held to be true. A theory explains why the law holds true.
A theory is an explanation of behavior, while a law is a summary of observed, measurable behavior.
A hypothesis is any concept concerning understanding something, anything. A (scientific) theory is a hypothesis which has been tested and found (so far) to be true. A "scientific law" is just a thumb-nail description of a theory (its never complete).
