I don't think there really is one. Laws are for mathematically provable things only. You have a hypothesis, which is rigorously tested by multiple sources, evidence is gathered, etc. until it becomes a theory. Some theories are not as strong as others, but evolution is one of the strongest (the strongest for what it is explaining, maybe the theory of gravity is stronger overall)
