I can always come up with a better formal definition, but I'm no scientist. I wager you that even among scientists they disagree on a definition of law and theory.

Inventing definitions won't change things. You can't make evolution go away by redefining the word "theory".

Not really. Having fixed definitions for those terms makes doing science a lot easier.

I wager you that even among scientists they disagree on a definition of law and theory. Only on the issue of where the "edges" lie (i.e., how to dinstinguish borderline cases). The basic meaning of "law" and "theory" are pretty well agreed upon, though.
