The Law of Identity is a more basic description of reality, but it is not itself identity. You can invent any rules of logic you want, but if they aren't in accord with reality, they won't be very useful. Fallacious logic is still logic, it's just bad logic, and not reflected in the universe. Fallacious logic isn't entirely useless though-it doesn't even necessarily result in incorrect conclusions, many people are persuaded by it, which is what it's for. If logic was built into reality, we wouldn't need to distinguish between sound logic, valid logic, and fallacious logic.
Now you're getting into science when you mention gravity. Science relies on the Law of uniformity. Don't you recognize that no one can account for these preconditions of intelligibility without the biblical God.
So you haven't come up with any justification for logic according to your worldview. How do you account for the law of uniformity which science presupposes? Simpler terms... How do you know the future will be like the past?
Let me guess... "because the future has always been like the past in the past".
Lets see if you recognize the problem with the answer that I most commonly get from atheists.
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
