Re: Why is enigma pretty much tied with maia and earth spiri

Voronwe, personally, that's the way I view the history of man and their immortality, where originally the were long lived and chose of their own will to die, but after they feared death, Eru gave them short life as a gift. (which explains why aragorn, who was, in my opinion, as close to an unfallen human as existed in the third age, was so long lived.)

Personally, I don't think there is any chance of Bombadil being a human, no matter if humans are mortal/immortal. He did things that even the Maiar could not do, which means there is very little chance of him being human. He wore the ring without being affected at all, which Gandalf could not do, and Gandalf is himself more powerful than man.
