The theory of evolution will never become a law, but scientific theory and scientific law carry the same weight in the scientific community.
hadn't read everything, so I didn't contest this. People who like proof would laugh at your statement. Theory means it cannot be proven, thusly a theory. There might be some evidence that has lead people to form the theory and that evidence might be convincing, but it is not a law. Law is that is can be repeated and proven as fact. THEORY of evolution has some support and some (even non-Christian) scientists who debunk it. Thusly, why it's only a theory and not a law. I believe Randilover has a whole new thread on this topic (I haven't gotten over there yet to read it).
So, please, if you want me to give credit to what you say, please do not insult me by stating theory is equal to law in the scientific community. Because they, themselves, would disagree with you.
