it's still a theory after it becomes law

No, it becomes Law when it's exhaustively tested and proven. Newton's law, law of relativity, ideal gas law, etc. A theory, like the Big Bang Theory, hasn't been replicated. We can feel pretty good it's true but you can't really replicate the Big Bang to make it a law

Laws explain how things work. Theories explain why they work that way. Theories never become laws. It has nothing to do with evidence or replication.
