What is the difference between an idea a belief a theory and a scientific law?

Idea: Something you think of. Belief: Something you believe is true. Scientific law: Something you believe is true, based on scientific hard evidence. Theory: A set of scientific laws that explain a field of human life or the cosmos.

Another Opinion:

"Difference" requires Recognition, as well as a Certain level of Honesty with regards to Standards being Universal Via Measurements." This statement, is my Idea, based on a Belief, that a Theory must be plausible with respect to Scientific Laws, therefore, My Idea, My Belief, and My Theory, are Useless, if any, and or all, Contradict the Physical Laws of Nature, also referred to as The Scientific Laws.
