But then aren't we left with Eru being ultimately responsible for the suffering of his creatures - they only really suffer because he creates them knowing what their fate will be? Its not even the case that Eru knew Hurin
might suffer at the hands of Morgoth, & that Turin
might commit incest with his sister - Eru knew for an inevitable fact that those things
would happen (along with everything else) & still spoke the 'Ea!'
