What evidence does he have of this claim?
Like most of his claims here, none!

Actually Zick claims that modern mathematikers claim their axioms are
not true.

Mathematicians do not claim axioms to be either true or false. They are
non-provable basic assumptions. And when reasoning within a certain set
of axioms they are assumed to be true. Whether they are true or false
outside that certain set of axioms is not stated.
