None of this is really that bad assuming you don't take things as cynically as possible.
The big bang theory is creationism - just secular creationism. So the two beliefs are not mutually exclusive, nor can either be proven as asserted by their source materials. You can believe in one, both, or neither and your views are equally as valid as any other combination.
The human form hasn't changed since their creation? Yeah, of course it hasn't. If it had, they'd be a new species and thus no longer human, wouldn't they?
The angels one basically means nothing. It doesn't say they believe angels are on earth or are influencing our lives. Just that they exist. Which is a given if you belong to any Abrahamic faith.
The heliocentrism one basically just says "25% of people are in the 25th percentile for intelligence". Again, largely meaningless. Yes, we know stupid people exist. They always have and always will. And until they stop making shitty, useless infographics, we just have to do our best to ignore them.
I watched a video just a few days ago about how the observed expansion of the universe is inconsistent with the models they're using, so either the measurements are innacurate, there's a missing factor, or the model is wrong.
The Big Bang is still very much at the "best we can do for now" stage.
For decades, the official narrative has been "yes all our models are wrong based on all known information, but it's because there's this stuff called 'dark matter' that definitely exists even though the only evidence we have is that if it doesn't exist then we're wrong". And the scientific community just accepts this.
I'm not anti science by any means, and if they invent a Dark Matter Detector tomorrow that provably shows the existence of dark matter then I'll accept that. But so many aspects of science seem to be cramming a square peg into a round hole because scientists can't bear to be wrong or just say "I don't know". It's too common for me to trust the field any more than I trust religion.
