I personally can see no evidence whatsoever that Tom is marred. There is also evidence to me that he is not marred. How else could the ring fail to have an affect on him?

I do think that his not being marred makes it impossible for him to be the incarnation of Arda as we were looking on it. However, I think there is a way we could find that it would work. Perhapse he is one of the strains of music that Eru did not show the Valar, and thus remained unmarred? Or perhapse he somehow has that of Arda and of Eru in him? Or perhapse, for whatever reason, Eru somehow prevented him from being marred?

I oppologise if I'm being a dunderhead again, but I learn by being corrected by those more knowledgeable. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
