I have no idea why any well adjusted adult would have so much emotionally invested in this.
Your right, those Evo's are pretty emotional:
"What's wrong with the AIG museum is that it's presenting religious views as if they are science when they are not," said Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, which launched the petition."<

I am concerned that American children are being taught that this is science. The USSR went down this path, where what they wanted to believe to was allowed to dominate actual science (Lysenkoism) and it put them behind in the field for decades. If you want to see other countries pull ahead of the US in science and technology, I can think of no better way to accomplish it then undermining science education in this country.
Science is what one finds, not what one wants to find to support a political or religious belief.
