Tolkien: Evolutionist or Creationist? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Helín Anyára mentions reading the Letters, and I'd like to reinforce that idea. Why speculate on Tolkien's beliefs when he did in fact leave us a collection of quite personal letters in which he extensively discussed those beliefs with his sons, his friends, and with curious admirers of his work?

The letters may not be readily available in smaller bookstores. I found my copy in a large Barnes and Noble. These days a good-sized bookstore should have it or be willing to order it for you. And failing that, there's always Amazon. They are simply titled "The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien".

If you are serious about Tolkien and you do not already have this book, I would very highly recommend obtaining a copy.
