Actually Mr. Chinnery your describing a hypothesis. There is no "law" of anything , ie: the "theory" of gravity, the "theory" of electricity, the "theory" of thermodynamics. When used in a description towards a layman is the only time a scientist will use the term "law", ie: the "laws" of physics the "laws" of mathematics etc etc. At no time will you ever find a scientific study that refers to the "law" of anything(when its proposed to the international college of science). Its a term used simply to explain the reproducable effects to a layman. Just thought you'de like to know, I could care less what people believe in what religion or what(as to this arguement). But I majored in Evolutionary Biology and guess what its a "theory" just like gravity ....If you dont believe in it feel free to stop believing in gravity (you still won't float off the earth trust me). Hope you get the point.....

P.s Dont be offended I just don't like it when people misquote science or twist it to their "view". Empirical evidence is what should guide anything...Without it , we have nothing but guessing....(please dont quote websters either, take a class in "Scientific Method" instead, dictionaries are the worst thing to pull a scientific definition out of).
