Question: does reasoning presumes thinking but thinking does not presume reasoning? 

Answer: The lastest research seems to show that reasoning, or solving a problem by logic, does NOT necessarily presume thinking.\n\n>>\nEmotions are postcards from our genes telling us in a direct and nonsymbolic manner about life and death.\n-- Allen Lane\n>>\n\n\nThinking of course can be idle daydreaming, recalling sequences of events etc. No reasoning needed some times.\n\n>>\nIn this world [there] are very few things made \nfrom logic alone. It is illogical for a man to be too logical. Some things we must just let stand. The mystery is more important than any possible explanation . . . The searcher after truth must search with humanity. Ruthless logic is the sign of a limited mind. The truth can only add to the sum of what you know, while a harmless mystery left unexplored often adds to the meaning of life. When a truth is not so important, it is better left as a mystery.\n-- Bryce Courtenay\n>>
