"Law" signifies a theory that has both withstood rigourous testing and is used as the basis for future hypothesis and theory. It does not mean "proven".
"Law" in science only means that falsifying it would create a bigger mess than would falsifying a theory that is not "law".

Um, actually laws and theories are two different critters and a theory never becomes a law or vice versa, at least not in science.
