A *theory* is what is commonly accepted *but* it is subject to change. It can change if new information is discovered that changes the meaning of the theory. The Theory of Evolution is a good example of a theory that is not scientific. It is a guess based on findings and not observable or able to be experimented on. A *law* will never change. It is accepted as is and is known to be 100% true, such as the Laws of Force and Acceleration.
