My apologies, Saucepan. I was replying to Eggy and then was interrupted, so I didn't see your post before I posted.

My concern was that one word, 'created' not be taken as evidence for the entire meaning of Creationism.

For the record, here's a link from the University of Syracuse on Evolution vs Creationism

I would think, given Creationism's literal interpretation of the Bible, and Tolkien's interest in mythological frameworks, his work would be less liable to show evidence of a literal interpretation of the Bible.

However, this is not a debate which interests me, so I will simply provide a few links and then observe from the sidelines.

Tally ho and so forth.
