Absolutely Evil

It made Melkor and the Void.

I'm not sure I follow you here, specifically with the reference to the Void. Surely, if there is anything that could be described as totally neutral it is a vacuum.

If Eru is God, then It created all things. Or does It live in a space created by an even bigger fish? If there is a Void, then, it had to come from somewhere (and the Void doesn't seem like a very nice place to be, and so...).

The Void is just where nothing was put, or at least where nothing has been put yet. I fail to see how it is evil just because nothing is there.

How can one recognize good if there is nothing to off-set it?

There would not be any need to recognize it because it just would be.
