How can we have certain proof that we and the rest of reality are not the result of atheistic evolutionary materialism, but rather the result of creative intelligence (not to be confused with man-made religions and their gods)?

DEFINITION OF MACHINE AND TOOL
Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com | Meanings & Definitions of English Words, Cambridge Dictionary, The Free Dictionary, Wikipedia: "mechanically, electrically, or electronically devices for performing a task; consisting of interrelated moving parts with separate functions; uses power to apply forces and control movement; modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more useful form; applies to artificial devices but also to natural biological macromolecules."
 
Machine and tool are synonymous: How the 6 Types of Simple Machines Work
 

MACHINES AND TOOLS REQUIRE INTELLIGENT CAUSATION
The intelligent cause of machines and tools is a self-evident fact, maxim, axiom, and law for which there is no exception.
 
It, like 2+2 = 4, are common sense and knowledge accepted as true without proof in a court of law.
 
No proof exists that machines and tools with functional purpose beyond their natural state can result from natural processes.
 
Although a random stone can be used as a hammer and a log as a lever, their use for intentional work requires intelligence. That intelligent use, in effect, transforms them into a machine or tool.
 
There is no way to escape the link between machines, tools, and intelligence.
 

PRESENCE OF MACHINES AND TOOLS ARE USED TO DISCOVER INTELLIGENCE
The parallel lines in this aerial photograph of Ontario turn out to be logging swaths. Such artificial modifications to the natural landscape require intelligence, and often with the use of intelligently made machines and tools. Simple Machines and How They Work

​If such features were seen on another planet by astronomers, intelligent life would be concluded.
 
These chipped stones found in Tanzania were used for cutting and scraping. They are the simplest of tools/machines and prove to archeologists the presence of intelligence.

​Ancient wedges, axes, and cutting tools/machines are all evidence of intelligence.

If simple chipped stones prove intelligence, finding highly complex, functional, and dynamic work-producing biochemical pathway machines also proves intelligence.
Nobody believes rudimentary stone tools could form due to just the forces of nature.
Yet vast swaths of learned people believe the intricacy and functional complexity of biochemical pathways are a result of just the forces of nature.

MACHINES AND TOOLS UNDERLIE ALL OF PHYSICAL REALITY
Machines, tools, and other artifacts prove intelligent causation. This is not disputed.
But the majority of machines and tools in our world are not the product of human intelligence.
 
Earth, sun, moon, stars, planets, air, heat, light, water, atoms, quanta, natural laws, life … everything in the physical and nonphysical world has tool and machine characteristics.

There are about 7x1027 atoms in the human body. Each of these is a dynamic machine.

Human atoms combine to create about 1027 molecules in humans. (That's 1000000000000000000000000000 molecules.)
 
Each molecule is a dynamic functional machine in itself. These combine with other molecules to create other machines such as biochemicals, biochemical pathways, metabolic pathways, genetic macromolecules (carrying more information than humans have produced in their entire history), organelles, cells, tissues, organs, physiological mechanisms, hormones, and anatomical machine features including pulleys, levers, balls and sockets, gaskets, self-lubrication, self-repair, electrical circuitry, sound reception and generation, digestive fuel creation, vision, taste, smell, tactile sensitivity, pain reflexes, replicating (reproductive) capabilities, lactation, and countless other machines encased within the body.
 
It's machines within machines, within machines, within machines. All these machines are autonomous and work in perfect synchrony inside of an electrical, thinking, self-aware, free-willed, conscience-guided, and working body/mind human machine.

THE ONLY REASONABLE CONCLUSION
Logical syllogism
1. Machines and tools require intelligent causation.
2. All of reality, including living organisms, contains machines and tools.
3. Therefore, all of reality including living organisms were intelligently caused.
