If you spoke to someone from the first century and they labeled you a sorcerer and the devil because you have an expanded vocabulary because you know what an iPhone and Internet is, would you agree with their assessment?
Then that's just like speaking in foreign tongue. You wanna communicate, tell your listener what they can understand like the parables that Jesus frequently used.

Okay, so at this point we understand that a far-out concept is different from a synonym.

Launching and Big Bang mean the same thing.
These are different words to explain God’s creation from my point of view.

Those are not synonyms. If you read Genesis 1 carefully, you'll notice that sun, moon and stars were created on the FOURTH DAY after light, water and land on the first three days. That's totally against the Big Bang theory.

Ohh I see. So you interpret Genesis literally. I understand now.

I take that seriously rather than literally. If you don't take that seriously, you won't take anything else seriously. Any attempt to interpret the creation account "spiritually" is a compromise to suit the EVILutionary view. Jesus said heaven and earth will eventually pass away, my word will never pass away; however, if you believe that they were "billion years old", then that's an incomprehensible number that's almost equivalent to eternity, which implies that they will never pass away, while Jesus's words were first century myth that ought to pass away. That's typical 180ism from Satan, turning white black and black white, up down and down up.

I’d rather not double post or copy/paste.

Naw, we should take the terms away from them. I believe in Theistic Evolution and a Theistic big bang :)
Well I believe those are oxymorons. There're variation and adaptation in nature, but there's no "evolution". It was the same lie from Satan in the garden, that "you shall be like God". That's the same false belief behind the tower of babel that they could reach to God by their own effort. In reality what happened is the opposite, younger generations are DEvolving, physically they've got all kinds of weird medical conditions that were unheard of at grandma and grandpa's time due to processed food diet, unhealthy lifestyle and work related hazards, life expectancy has DECLINED in recent years; speaking of "survival of the fittest", many don't even have basic skills to survive. If you still believe we're "evolving", that's the delusion sent by God to teach a lesson.

I'm telling you, man, this is not some minor inconvenient details or a different opinion on interpretation, this shapes your fundamental world view. This world will DEvolve into chaos by its own before any divine intervention from God in the last days, when Jesus returns he'll just finish the job by quashing the Beast's last and finale futile struggle.

Each of those attributes mentioned in the OP...
Do people understand what they mean?

Omniscience
God knows the end of a matter just as well as the present and the beginning. There is nothing that God doesn't know. Meaning that God can't be pleasantly surprised by a surprise birthday party.

Omnipotence...
Not one spark can exist without God's active support. Your next breath doesn't happen at God's acquiesce...but his active support. All of Creation exists because He said so. Construction is a lot more difficult than destruction...just saying. But with God, He is also perfectly efficient with his power...no unintended side or spillover effects...because if there was He wouldn't be omniscient or in control of his power.

Omnipresence....
There is no hiding from God. God is everywhere. From the depths of the earth to the furthest reach of the universe...God is there
