Facts are data points (or broad undisputed statements, such as the earth revolves around the sun). Laws are (generally mathematical) statements of relationships among data points, such as Newton's laws. Theories are, as you say, explanatations. *doh* I should know better. I please "morning posting."
Thanks for the clarification.

Of course, on FR, one cannot assume that the earth revolving around the sun is undisputed.
I have seen it disputed, and I have noticed that the creationist and ID posters seem to approve of teaching the controversy.
