There is no proof of creation
While Evolution has been tested as fact many times

No. It's more of a theory actually
so is gravity.
so is gravity.
There is a law and theory regarding gravity. Silly.
Ths is y creationism is wrung!!!1

Explain THAT!
Being a theory doesn't make something false in fact more often then not it means the opposite.What's your point?
Theory > Law
law simply describes an observation theory explains it, while this makes it possible to be false they are generally well accepted as fact.

I think that it is the theory that after being tested evolves into law.. soo0Theory > Law

Uh no, laws are facts, solid facts that cannot be denied. A theory can be argued against, and while it has lots of evidence to back it up, it's not enough to fully cement it as fact.

In everyday use, theory means a guess or a hunch, something that maybe needs proof. In science, a theory is not a guess, not a hunch. It's a well-substantiated, well-supported, well-documented explanation for our observations. It ties together all the facts about something, providing an explanation that fits all the observations and can be used to make predictions. In science, theory is the ultimate goal, the explanation. It's as close to proven as anything in science can be.
Some people think that in science, you have a theory, and once it's proven, it becomes a law. That's not how it works. In science, we collect facts, or observations, we use laws to describe them, and a theory to explain them. You don't promote a theory to a law by proving it. A theory never becomes a law.
This bears repeating. A theory never becomes a law. In fact, if there was a hierarchy of science, theories would be higher than laws. There is nothing higher, or better, than a theory. Laws describe things, theories explain them. An example will help you to understand this. There's a law of gravity, which is the description of gravity. It basically says that if you let go of something it'll fall. It doesn't say why. Then there's the theory of gravity, which is an attempt to explain why. Actually, Newton's Theory of Gravity did a pretty good job, but Einstein's Theory of Relativity does a better job of explaining it. These explanations are called theories, and will always be theories. They can't be changed into laws, because laws are different things. Laws describe, and theories explain.
Just because it's called a theory of gravity, doesn't mean that it's just a guess. It's been tested. All our observations are supported by it, as well as its predictions that we've tested. Also, gravity is real! You can observe it for yourself. Just because it's real doesn't mean that the explanation is a law. The explanation, in scientific terms, is called a theory.
A theory never becomes a law. :| A theory explains a law.
People don't realize that ''theories'' and ''laws'' hold different meanings in science in comparison to their everyday definitions.
Are you trying to say that a theory becomes a law or that a theory is greater than a law (ya know, math notation)?
Either way, there is a Law of Universal Gravitation and also a theory. Evolution is merely a theory. Using gravity is moot.
It has muuuuch more proof than creationism tho...No, it's merely a theory. According to the theory, we have a common ancestor. The fossil of this ''ancestor'' has so far not been discovered. Unless it's discovered, the theory stays as a theory.
this ^
the law of gravitation just points out the elements that make it up, its very limited in what it tells you and how you can use it to understand gravity where as the theory of gravity takes those observations (laws) and other facets of gravity into account and explains them so they can be understood used and quantified.
I understand. Theories explain "Why?" And nothing new was learned that day...
the whole point was that theory's carry just as much weight in the scientific world as laws do and quite often are considered more valuable.
