A theory is an idea system with a lot of evidence to support it--for example, the theory of evolution. A law (in science) is an idea system with proof attached to it--no contradictions--example, the law of gravitation.
A theory, when proven over time, can become a law. Example: Law of Gravity and Theory of Evolution
it is a example of a law that can't be proven by science
The difference between theory and natural law is that a theory is a framework, while a natural law is a single rule, usually expressed in mathematics. They are not two different stages of acceptance among scientists (as it is sometimes claimed in error); they are two completely different things; a theory does not evolve into a law with when sufficient evidence for a theory has been gathered for example. For example consider: The Theory of Special Relativity <-- Theory Speed of light is constant <-- Law Theory of Electromagnetism <-- Theory Divergence of the Magnetic field is zero <-- Law Quantum Field Theory <-- Theory Conservation of Energy <-- Law
any belief in science that is plausible and for the most part has some evidence, but we aren't sure of being 100% true, would be a theory. for example, the theory of relativity, darwin's theory of evolution, etc.
