Yes, it is the Law of Gravity. The difference between a theory and a law is that a law can be proven to be 100% true either through mathematical proofs or experimentation, while theories cannot.
In regards to evolutional theory vs. law, the law of evolution refers to that there are observed changes to organisms over time. The theory of evolution, or Darwin's modern evolutionary synthesis, is the current scientific explanation as to how this occurs, but it cannot be proved 100% to be true and therefore is not a law.
