A law is a fact (through our understanding), a theory is a theory.
There are certainly sound theories for the existence of god, such as our lack of understanding of how we came to be (going back to the creation of the universe) - highlighted in a previous post: even if the big bang was the cause of the universe as we know it, what caused the big bang?
People who discount science are stupid, though and I will say straight out that they are douchebags
Empirical theory is different to regular theory like you say, however a theory must be testable and falsifiable. Big Bang is actually a Scientific Model, not a theory.
