A scientific theory describes how some particular phenomenon happens or works, and a scientific law is a mathematical, or other very concise summary of the consequences of a theory. Laws and theories, in science, do not form a hierarchy of belief (as some uninformed people believe) in which a theory, when sufficiently confirmed, advances to the status of a law. Rather, laws are part of theories.

What is the difference between logic and science?

I would say logic is a prerequisite for science. In other words science is specific application of logic, not something completely separate. Logic presents the next stage in the scientific process or thinking. So every logical thing can only be logical if its approved by a scientific method; (theory, hypothesis, e.t.c). One leads to another.

How does a scientific theory compare a scientific hypothesis?
