First by observation of concretes, we create concepts corresponding to those concretes (that would be the level of laws of nature). Abstraction are the concepts created from thus we get fields like logic and mathematics. The original source of those abstractions is still the real world.
You are confusing the mind with the universe.
We discover laws of physics by observing and analyzing the behavior of things around us. The laws of logic are not discovered in the same way. For example, in nature we do not see something that is both itself and not itself at the same time, because we can only observe a phenomena that exists, not one that does not exist.
If something is not itself, then it doesn't exist. How then can the property of that non-existent thing be observed? It cannot.
Therefore, we are not discovering a law of logic by observation, but by thought.
If the universe and our minds are simply the results of time and chance (evolution), why would we expect that the mind could make sense of the universe?
Hey Mister Agenda
Have you researched why the preconditions of intelligibilty are necessary???
I'm sure with a little knowledge you could post something relevant and worth reading to the thread.

The use of logic =/= a belief.
Are you not willing to continue searching for a rational justification for your faith in evolution? (A justification for Laws of logic perhaps.)
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.
