How do you know that those things weren’t created with those properties that make them behave reliably as they do?

I don't claim to know, and neither does science. Science tries to figure out what rules govern the natural world, not who the "author" of those rules might be.

Evolution through the mechanism of natural selection *is* organic life behaving according to a set of natural laws. There is nothing in the theory that prevents you from believing that those natural laws were "written" by a creator. Frankly, I think you are doing the creator a disservice to shut your eyes and plug your ears to the elegant, beautiful process that is evolution.
