Why is evolution so controversal?
Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms is a fact and is only controversial among a vanishingly few ideologues and practically no scientists. The theory of evolution by natural selection is supported by over 95% of all scientists and is not controversial among the scientific community because it has been observed and tested for 150 years. There are some religious ideologues who can not accept the evidences that refute their creation story, so they make evolutionary theory only controversial politically.

What is the difference between the Heliocentric theory and the Copernican theory?
The heliocentric 'theory' is not really a theory at all, more an assertion that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system. Copernicus's theory assumes that the Sun is at the centre and provides a model of the planets' orbits that uses circles and epicycles to explain the observed orbits. He said it was simpler than the old "geocentric" (Earth centred) Ptolemaic system, but it was not really, it actually had more epicycles. Note: Perhaps the questioner got mixed up. The Copernican theory IS a heliocentric theory. Perhaps the question is about the geocentric theory and the Copernican theory. Anyway, Kepler simplified the heliocentric theory and now we know that his model is correct.
Why was the theory of the atom so controversial back in the early 1900's?
Complicate and new theories are continuously controversial; but this controverse is the source of progress in knowledge.
