Why is evolution a theory and not a law?




















A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing.
A Law generalizes a body of observations. At the time it is made, no exceptions have been found to a law. Scientific Laws explain things, but they do not describe them.


Evolution is considered a theory and not a law because overtime a species is changing to adapt to its lifestyle. Evolution is based on Natural Selection. It is a theory because it can not be proven or dis-proven.
