This is a great post, but most people won't like what I have to say. JRR Tolkien was the greatest writer of all time, and a marvelous one at delving into the thoughts and mind of man to find the part of us that longs to wake beside a clear lake under elven-stars. But as far as the world being a once physical place, the professor himself wpould have disagreed. He was a Catholic christian, and took the Bible's view of creation and man's history literally. Now there are a stinking lot of theories that could come off of that, for those that know some theology, but i'll spare you!
