How do laws evolve then?

Repeated observations of an event sufficient to describe a general pattern. They could, in fact, be found to be wrong later, such as Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.

Laws attempt to explain what the universe does. Theories attempt to explain why the universe does it. They are two different kinds of statements.
