I’m certainly in a minority in thinking "law" is an archaic term, but IMO it implies a false level of certainty that doesn’t really exist. I find that most modern scientists don’t like to suggest they are providing certianty. Laymen, however, often latch onto this false certainty and get lead away from how&why science really works.

Science is really about finding the best, most productive answers. Demanding absolute certainty about the natural world tends not to yield productive results and belongs to theologians and philosophers not scientists. I think the language should reflect this.
