But I don't see anyone pressing for legislation that require disclaimers to be slapped on the atomic theory of matter, or the theory of the heliocentric solar system.

Are you really trying to compare evolutionary theory -- which its proponents admit is still up in the air in many respects -- to the heliocentric solar system?

Get a grip!

And heliocentricism isn't controversial?

Absolutely. The fact that animals change over time is no more disputable than the fact that the sun sits (approximately) at the center of the solar system. The gaps in the detailed models of both are comparable in seriousness. As one example of a gap in the heliocentric model, I give you the long-term stability of planetary orbits. How does that occur? There are several good ideas, but that's a far from settled point.
