Evolutionary theory is categorized as a theory rather than a law due to its explanatory nature and potential for modification based on new evidence.
Evolutionary theory is considered a theory and not a law because it is an explanation of how living things have changed over time, whereas a law describes natural events without attempting to explain them. Additionally, evolutionary theory may change in the face of new evidence that does not support the theory, while a law is firmly established and proved with scientific evidence.
