Too many people need to brush up on scientific terms:

Law: Has been proven and has never been broken.
Theory: Has not been proven, but evidence supports it.
Belief: No evidence exists, you just think it's true anyway.

While I understand the commonly used terms, they are placed by humans to help understand a process. We, as humans, are flawed and make mistakes. Just because we call it a "law" doesn't make it so. I have used the same argument on this over and over by saying everyone said the world was flat...it was a "law" until someone had the guts to keep going. Then it was broken. I'm sure you heard the expression, all laws are made to be broken. I am not debating Thermodynamics, I just beleive that in our time this "law" will change. Then what will it be when it is changed? Simply a theory.
