Evolution of a miracle

Ever wondered what is the most amazing thing that took place in the creation...?
Life, Love, evolution of human... many answers sprout given a little thought.
But I personally feel for some reason that 'thinking' is the majestic phenomenon that happened, the phenomenon that changed the course of life on this planet and not just that, the 'thinking' has evolved just the  way life has evolved.  

Imagine what would it be if life didn't evolve physically to its present form but with ability to THINK. Most of the creatures would be ugly with fur allover, gigantic or pea sized or even with microscopic bodies or in the worst case life still struggling under water....
Also imagine the case where life  evolved physically just in terms of  mould of flesh but with no intelligence. Respiration and bodily movements would only then differentiate living form from the rest of the matter. In the former case progress were still possible even if bodily evolution was limited to tranformation into microscopic multi-cellular organism. In the later case, however, even sophisticated bodily evolution would not have made much difference. It would all be the same, all life forms exhibiting more or less same 'response' to changes taking place.

Thus the abstract phenomenon 'thinking' has major part in this creation. It is the major or I can say ,the only contributor for one species to dominate all other life forms on this planet. Not just it...thinking has evolved too. Primitive beings could act limitedly, their scope of thinking was limited to survival alone. As evolution took place both in bodily and phsycological terms dominance took a new turn. Species could use resources effectively to live, to escape, to dominate. It made possible for the beastily acts to step in much more complex horizons.....fine arts, music,tech advancements to name few.

The power to think and the evolution of it, not just from in primitive creatures to present day man but even in present form of the living beings thinking evolves as species age, has accomplished mammoth tasks that leave us in awe. The sheer power to think......
