Iluvatar said Eä was deep within the planet and therefore I guess that the Flame Imperishable is the planet core.

Actually, Ea is the world (I think. It has been a while since I read the Sil.) And I do agree with the veiw that the Flame is like the Holy Spirit. Melkor was jelous of Illuvitar's power and wanted to create, but he could only maim. Don't think that Melkor was just misunderstood, though, it was he that first brought discord to the Great Music.
