I have been told that it has to do with the difference of definitions of laws and theories. I don't think it's possible to prove that evolution isn't... real? I don't understand why it's a theory.

Brandy say: a theory is nothing but the proper explanation there's for an observed phenomenon it only becomes a fact when it is demonstrated... in the case of evolution; if mutations happens followed by separation (not necessary) then natural selection (making the organism with the expressed form of the mutation dominant) and it happens that the mutant could not procreate with the other group (non mutant/original or with a different kind of mutation) to give viable offspring- then and only then evolution is said to have happened...
the above has not been witnessed in nature but the following has been or not been observed but in isolation:
mutation- has been observed but either causes neutrality or causes diseases
separation- observed but never cause emergence of 2 different species
natural selection- has not been observed/ no model explains it/ and does cause emergence of a species from another

Cal King say: In science, a theory is an attempt to explain nature and it is well supported by facts and it has not been falsified. IOW, a scientific theory is scientific fact. Evolution is well supported and it has not been falsified. Therefore it is fact. Evolution theory attempts to explain why there are so many different species of organisms in nature, and the explanation is that different species evolved from a common ancestor because of natural selection.
In science a law is not an attempt to explain why something happens in nature. For example, the law of gravity is not an attempt to explain why matter exert attractive forces upon each other. Instead, a law is a statement of how objects behave. Gravity is a law because we observe objects in nature being attracted to each other and that the magnitude of the force can be calculated.
