Quote:
I think that Eru is above good and evil, the beings who follow him are good and those who rebel against him are evil. But by being evil, they still serve Eru's plans, for he created everything.
So if you rebel against him you can still make beautiful things, for example, Melkor, in his rebbelion, created ice and cold, but ice and cold can be beautiful too.

That's assuming that evil was created by Eru which goes against the whole holy god thing. Beautiful and good aren't the same things, either. This is a terrible example, but I'm tired and it's the only one I can think of right now. I could make a beautiful weapon, but that doesn't mean I couldn't do evil with it. Also, just because someone is evil doesn't mean they can't make anything beautiful, it just means they can't do anything good (if they are wholly evil).
