What do you believe in?

Even though honestly the only practicle difference between a law and a theory is that laws are theories we made before we realised everything gets screwed up whenever you get reletivistic or quantum.  Newton's laws aren't really laws, they are theories that got integrated into joint human knowledge before we realised they break down.

Eeeehhhhhh. So they are both right. And they are both wrong.... Can't we just agree to disagree? Internet arguing doesn't solve anything.

Um... No.  A law is a summary of observed behavior, and a theory tries to explain why, or predict something.

A theory is a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that CAN be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena
A theory doesn't need to explain why, it merely can.

And that's why I said OR.

true, but a theory is everything you state defines a law, in addition to what you say defines a theory.
