Sem. 2 Blog #1 Evolution

Why is evolution a theory and not a law?


Evolution is a theory because in order for it to become a law, it would have to be widely accepted and a supported, firmly held belief. Although evolution is supported by a lot of evidence, it isn't enough to make it into a law, which is unchangeable. Theories can be changed and tested and are beliefs that has been generally accepted from experiments and observations unlike laws, which are so firmly established that they often never change. Evolution cannot be a law, because some scientists don't agree with it and there has been much debate. For the theory of evolution to become a law, it must be accepted by all and have enough facts to go by.
