The majority of principles in the modern cell theory are accepted as fact among biologists and the scientific community. With nothing to prove this theory incorrect it's potential for becoming law for the basic foundation of all living things is quite high.

How does the cell theory show that Darwin's theory of evolution was incorrect?

It does not. Cell theory is fully compatible with evolutionary theory. Does this mean we know everything about the evolution of cells? No. We say we do not know, not that cell theory shows that evolutionary theory is incorrect. ( except, of course, if you are referring to heritability. This Darwin got wrong, but this is not directly related to cell theory )


How is Scientific law and scientific theory diffrent?

Why is the cell theory a theory and not a hypothesis?

The cell theory isn't a cell theory for atleast 2 reasons. The first reason that the cell theory is a theory is that viruses are a big exception to it. Viruses are not made of cells, and they don't have a metabolism and the activity of an organism depends on chemical reactions, but some scientists still consider them to be alive, so that goes against what the cell theory says. The second reason is simple...the first cell in the world obviously did not come from a preexisting cell. The cell theory states: 1. All living things are made of one or more cells 2. Cells only come from preexisting cells 3. Cells are the smallest unit of life
