I have looked at it again, and it seems that tom was even there before the land was made in a inhabitable state: (as far as that is possible) he says somewhere, that he remembers the first leafs to fall from the trees, wich means that he was directly there on the earth, right on the moment that it was made (or but futile moments later), probably even before the valar went to arda...
