    A scientific theory is a theory that explains the scientist's observations, whereas a scientific law is a repeated pattern in the world that we have not sought an explanation for. Also, a scientific theory is proven correct in this time, but may not be correct during future times.

    A scientific theory is NOT a wild guess. It must be consistent with known experimental results and it must have predictive power. As new knowledge is gained, theories are refined to better explain the data. A law is a mathematical relationship that is consistently found to be true
