Are you sure that physicists automatically promote theories to laws ?
​
Relativity hasn't been promoted to a law. And so far as I know, Thermodynamics is still a theory while none of the "laws" you refer to ever was a theory in the sense of the word that applies to evolution or thermodynamics.

Well that's my point. Thermodynamics is (still) a theory. The laws of thermodynamics are part of that theory.
