No, the difference between what we call the theory of evolution and scientific laws is a matter of nomenclature. The theory of evolution could more accurately be called the law of evolution.
Where do you teach? I want to keep my kids away from there.
Please do. Intelligence has a strong genetic component.
Ever take a "music Theory" class? You gonna tell me music is only a theory?
Well, the difference really is one of nomenclature and history, whatever you may like to think about it. A scientific law is one that hasn't been disproven yet. Heck, we still refer to Newton's Laws as Laws, even though they have been disproven (or superceded, if you prefer, by the more general cases involving really high speeds and/or really small masses).
Right Wing Professor has referred to the Second Law of Thermodynamics several times - this is probably the firmest law we have in science. But, at the same time as we use it as the basis of most of our work, we don't have any good theoretical underpinning for why it should be true. We accept it because no one has ever proven it false.
Theories are pretty much in the same boat. Come up with a good model, some evidence for it. If people can't prove you're wrong, it may become accepted, and will be called either a Law or a Theory. You may have some other definition for which is which, but it is not the way these terms are actually used.

Okay, Einstein, if you're so smart, don't just sit there casting nebulous insults, tell *us* what the differences really are. I could use some entertainment.
