In simple terms, a law is a mathematical description and a theory is an explanation.
​
The law of gravity lets you calculate how fast the apple falls from the tree.
The theory of gravity tells you the mechanism that makes it fall.
​
So, does the theory of evolution include any official laws? Perhaps laws of genetics? Or any statistical laws? Perhaps the first law of evolution is Change over Time >= 0.
