In mathematics, for instance, the axioms we accept to be true are as basic as the Axiom of Empty Set, which basically posits that "nothing" is a valid concept
An axiom is something we can ask to be assumed true to describe how it can be held self-evident by one or more people. You must know the subject matter to understand how it is held as truth.

It is the fool that does not know how to demonstrate how something counts as evidence
It is the fool that thinks being an adequate defender of faith is about constant repetition of passages and images instead of being about sincerity, honesty, truth and integrity. He doesn't realize he is actually doing a very bad job of defending the faith here and is actually doing a disservice.
It is the delusional that do not know and thus will not claim or even consider that they might be delusional.

John, what attributes does a set of nothing have that it can create a universe out of?
That is a pointless question and it doesn't do anything for your position.
What attributes do anyone of the 100% mythical, fictious gods so so far across the spectrum have they they can create a universe out of? Faith matter attributes don't count.
See, both have useless answers.

Please substantiate your claim that there is evidence of god without pointing to the bible or by "saying just look the natural phenomenon around us." We are looking for empirical, verifiable, falsifiable evidence that gives true justification for believing in probability of the truth of such claims.
Ps: At the moment it is you that is delusional. Of course you won't say you as that is exactly what a delusional person would say. A schizophrenic for example does not just believe; in their mind these delusional beliefs are very real; they "know" that this real with complete 100 percent certainty. Unless you are being dishonest you are delusional.
You are the one of narcissism, arrogance, self righteousness etc. all masquerading as humility but failing miserably with that humility.
I probably will never get through to you (you are beyond the scope of non medical intervention) but I will for the benefit of others so they took don't become infected with the mental faith virus continue to stand up for good reasoning, rationality, justification, critical thinking, true knowledge, integrity, sincerity and for the benefit of humanity. It would be immoral not to.

And that is precisely the same kind of statement any other delusional person from another theistic religion or internal doctrine would make, which also directly opposes this doctrine that RickeyHolstClas adheres to. One would have thought that a God, worthy of the attributes ascribed to Him, would have done a far better job of communicating more effectively to avoid these internal and external disputes that have also led to outright barbaric behavior over the centuries.
PS @RickeyHoltsClaw, regarding your attempt to appeal to nature as evidence for this God, if you had done your research, you would know that this is exactly what can be found in Greek and Norse Mythology, among other traditions. Using your logic then we could also claim that it's not one God but multiple divinations repsonsible for different areas of the creation.

What is the probability of getting 100 tails in a row? 1/2^100, which is an astronomically low number. Now flip a coin 100 times and write the sequence of heads and tails that you got. Guess what the probability of getting this sequence is? Same: 1/2^100. Must have been god's work, no?
If you make 50 vague prophecies, then almost anyone will fulfill multiple of them. Then you will take one of those fulfillments, constrain its parameters to that particular occurrence (in this case "this exact sequence of heads and tails"), and say, "What are the odds?!"
All of this stuff relies on one's inability to perform basic logical reasoning. That is what it takes to believe in fantasy stories: stop thinking logically and start blindly believing a few salesmen (and donate to their church generously) - and you got a religion.

There is an observation here that Christianity is not a religion it is a form of Monarchy created by the use of democracy as the people in order to enter the Monarchy must vote Jesus is the King, and as king, he is also God. Like I have mentioned RickyHoltsClaw is speaking of devine law and this type Monarch does exist as real.

1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause of its beginning.
2. The universe began to exist.
3. Therefore, the universe has a cause of its beginning.
Since there was 'nothing' at the beginning, the cause must be immaterial, timeless (because the cause must be outside of space-time itself to create it), powerful enough to create universes out of nothing, and intelligent enough to create a finely tuned universe and to will it into existence. That sounds a lot like God to me.
Outside of God, what have you got? Literally (and I mean literally) nothing.
