A law is a fact that is observed to be universally true. Laws are "observed" to be true, not "proven" to be true. And a law is a single short statement ... usually in the form of an equation.
A theory is an explanation for observed facts. A good theory explains many facts. The more facts it explains, the more we say it has evidence ... which is why we say that evolution is one of the strongest theories in the history of science ... it explains thousands of facts. And a theory is a body of many statements ... and a theory can expand and grow with more details as we find more facts that it explains.

evolution cannot be proven to be a law because there is no live evidence, there are only the remains of the evidence. To make it a law, there would have to be dinosaurs and those different types of animals walking around today. but, all we have are their fossils, and remains.
