Very thorough and interesting HC.

One thing that I might add though is that the Ainulindale is almost a direct rip-off of Milton's view of creation in "Paradise Lost." I'm not sure it could be looked at in any real sort of fairness in terms of physics... just my opinion.

It's still a viable topic to me though. I'm finding myself getting pulled in more and more by the second.
