| Tyrannical said: You have "fact" and "law" confused. |
No, I don't. Laws are physical (Or analytical, if you will) 'facts' that are universal to all areas of science.
The difference being, if a physical law is proven to be wrong, the entire structure of our current scientific knowledge would have to be dramatically replaced, which is not the case with theories. The word 'fact' isn't even used to explain anything in science; it doesn't carry the same definition that Webster provides.
For the topic on hand, there are no 'laws', nor 'facts' for that matter, in biology.
Biology abides by the analytical laws already conceived, it doesn't create its own.
