How does scientific law differ from theory?
A scintific law is a statement that describes what scientisis expect to happen. A scintififc theory is a well-tested explantion for a range of observations. This answers the question '' How Does Scientific Law Differ From Scientific Theroy?''
Could a scientific fact be disproven?
There is no absolute knowledge in science that can never be disproven even in principle. It does sometimes turn out that scientists are wrong, and what they considered to be a fact turns out not to be one. I would add that it is more usual for scientists to revise theories, than to reject what was considered to be a fact, but it does happen.
Can scientific theories change?
Yes, they can, if new evidence is discovered to support a change in the theory. Physical theories are not provable in the sense of mathematical theorems. They depend on evidence, and they can be disproved if enough contrary evidence comes up.
How do scientific theories develop and change?
How do scientific theories develop and change?
A widely accepted scientific idea which cannot be proven nor disproven?
Dependent variable
Why don't all hypothesis become theories?
A scientific theory is something that is tried and tested, and not yet disproven. It is close to being scientific 'fact' as you can get. Not all hypotheses will become theories because sometimes they get disproven. That means the hypothesis will need to be changed and tested again.

Can a scientific theory ever be disproven?
Yes
Why is the law of gravity a law not a theory?
It has been proven, as opposed to not being disproven. Theories have not been dis proven, but have not been proven, or are unable to be proven, but are otherwise acceptable as factual.
What is the difference in theory and scientific law?
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.

I would add that it is more usual for scientists to revise theories, than to reject what was considered to be a fact, but it does happen.
When is scientific theories formed?
When a scientific idea has been tested many times
Can scientific theories change?
Yes, they can, if new evidence is discovered to support a change in the theory. Physical theories are not provable in the sense of mathematical theorems. They depend on evidence, and they can be disproved if enough contrary evidence comes up.
When can scientific theories be changed or replaced?
Scientific theories can be changed or replaced when there has been significant evidence for the change. The scientific method must be used to create a new hypothesis, which must then be proven.
Can theories be disproven?
No. A theory cannot be disproven. This is a corollary of the fact that a theory cannot be proven either; otherwise it would be a theorem.The correct term for a theory being consistent with evidence and reliable in predictions is validated. The correct term for not being validated, or an overturning of validation, is invalidated.

Why don't scientific theories mention God?
because they will not have a job. Science studies are often in oposition with what the bible teaches. Many will be out of a job if they admit that God created everything.
