Laws have their underlying assumptions proven

The laws of physics that specify that Gravity is a constant force is a law because some on successfully proved that if you removed the air resistance a feather would fall at the same speed as a buckshot. Before that time the "theory" of gravity said that force of gravity was varied depending on the mass of the object. This "theory" was put in place to explain observed event of a heavy object (cannon ball) hitting the ground before the lighter object (feather).


For evolution to become a law like the law of constant gravity you must prove that the originally proto mass that was the universe popped into existance via random event even though such an act violates the laws of thermodynamics (conservation of mass and energy).

The problem with not teaching creationism is people stop realizing the difference between "theories", observed events and true "facts". If we blindly believe anything (creationism or darwinism) we close our minds to posibilities and is the greatest detriment to scientific research that can exist.
