Well, looking at it in the Ying-Yang way is certainly intriguing, but you must remember Tolkien was a Catholic, a religion where 'good' is more necessary and potent than 'evil' or should be.

Eru Iluvatar was good and more stronger than Melkor, who was evil. Melkor, the Lucifer of Arda is but Iluvatar's creation and so weaker.

Orcs are a corrupted race, corrupted Elves (yes, I believe that theory [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]), turned evil against their will, fear of their master driving them.

There was a nice thread, 'Inherrent Evil', I believe by the great Lord of Angmar, no? Maybe you should check it out.

Eru is Tolkien's God, all-good, all-powerful, everything stemming from him.
