Are Theists Illogical for Believing in God?

Presenting it in a periodic cycle is a handy way to sync our practical daily use time to the rotation of the earth, but it is not applicable to time as a dimension of our universe. That is, as we currently understand it, a continuous timeline
What do you exactly mean? Knowing what time is is still arguable.
I just wanted to make an easy example.

Such axioms are self-evident.

Give me an example. What do you mean by "not to be held in our universe"? Because the new geometry is developed from the old one.
Do you mean like, straight lines in Euclidean-geometry and geodesics in modern geometry?

All its math is evolved from the simple logical math, its math has its roots in the self-evident axioms.

What has this to do with our discussion of logic? I know they are two different theories, and the major problem is that gravity is not unified the three other fundamental forces.
They are different mathematical models but uses the same underlying logical rules of math.
