The origin of biology

Why would you think it existed or didn't exist before conscious life?

Follow this argument.
It has been claimed that consciousness (your emotions thoughts etc) are simply a network of chemical reactions in your brain. (in other words, a purely natural phenomenon).

Therefore, when you die, or when human are not present, those emotions and thoughts have no existence. Because, as per the above worldview, those emotions/thoughts were simply a network of matter, so when that network was destroyed, the thoughts/emotions are destroyed too.

The same does not follow for logic.
the 1+1 statement holds true even without a human mind as I mentioned in the last post.

the question is then: Where does it exist? shouldn't it have been nonexistent, just like the other mental constructs of thoughts, emotions?
