>For instance, the Theory of Gravity. I know people who take it to be a law,

You mean Newton's Law of gravity [1]?

I'm not sure where you get the idea there are "theories" and "laws" in science and science moves things from one category to the other.

The closest I can find is this distinction: "Scientific theories explain why something happens, whereas scientific law describes what happens." [2]

By this description, laws generally happen first, then theory, because observation makes it clear what happens before we understand why it happens.

In which case law and theory go hand in hand in pretty much every single law and theory I can think of (and the page lists zillions)

Horrible example but the basic idea is right. Social sciences are probably a better place to point to.



Satire isn't making your case.

What exactly is this link demonstrating?
