Where did you come from? (Your profile is a piece of work.)
If it's a compliment: Thank you. ;)
If it's not: I'll learn Flash. Or something.
Either way, I like to jump in these debates from time to time.
We should trust you to be a judge of anothers understanding of science?
Some creationist arguments are very difficult to debunk or refute, others are not. The "evolution is a theory" argument is the most easily refuted because it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what a scientific theory is. It's like saying to a mathematican that a triangle has four points.
A scientific law is no more authoritative than a scientific theory. Laws can change just as easily as theories. The difference, as other posters have pointed out to you, is a matter of semantics--a law is a specialized form of scientific theory.
When people say "evolution is only a theory", they confuse scientific theory with scientific hypothesis. Every scientist (or someone who has at least taken science at the college level) knows the difference between a theory, hypothesis, and a law.
