This is something that falls far short in science education from my own anecdotal evidence. It's possible I misunderstood something - but I clearly recall our basic science classes teaching:
Step 1: Hypthesis
Step 2: Graduate to theory after testing
Step 3: Graduate to law after proving
I have come to understand otherwise after a bit of self study - but this is how many creationists think science works.
