Theories are more important than laws in science.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: Theories and laws serve different purposes and one does not become another.

In science, a theory is an explanation of phenomena based on evidence and reasoning, while a law is a statement that describes a consistent and universal relationship observed in nature. They serve complementary roles but do not transform into one another.
