A theory becomes law when the theory is proven based on empirical data.
That's dead wrong. A theory is often a whole body of thinking - as evolution is. The theory of thermodynamics includes no less than 4 laws. How, then, would it make sense to change the theroy to thermodynamics to THE law of thermodynamics even if every part of it were "proven".
(Perhaps you would also like to consider the law of faunal succession and how it relates to evolution ?)
