Actually, if replicated in the lab it will become a law

That's not how "theories" and "laws" work. Theories and Laws in science coexist and do not replace each other. The Ideal Gas law did not replace any theories. Theories never graduate to being laws.

This is the where most people just don't understand science methodology. This is also the origin of the old argument "evolution is only a theory".

Nice and vague, eh Jeff? Evolution isn't a law, and you know it.

The generally accepted argument won't pass with me. Probability is one thing, but a true scientist strives for certainty.
