Reasonable people can disagree.
You asked for evidence that materialism had gotten as close to proof as was possible in philosophy, which is not in the proof business. I added specific detail but could have simply said that it is the most successful form of philosophical inquiry by that forms own stated metrics. It could be that the whole universe was engaged in a grand conspiracy to make it seem so when it is not....but that would require one hell of an explanation itself..and if we ever do find out that's the case...just as it has before, it's going to come from materialistic endeavors and processes. In the strongest sense of that objection the so called laws of logic are themselves in error...and we're just talking about the realtive utility and effectiveness of various heuristics.
I don't think god-thinking is going to come out on top of technological-thinking even in that comparison, and, apparently...neither do contemporary christians.
