Looking up briefly from my readings on the development of Chimpanzee culture (you'd think I would have picked a more glamourous science course), I would have to briefly state that I personally believe that morals are inspired by the divine, but that the divine has many tools with which to operate, evolution being one of those tools; at the same time, viewing Middle Earth in terms of evolution is a bit absurd to me, especially since Middle Earth came from the mind of Tolkien, who already had those moral beliefs instilled in him by his own church. Are we forgetting that this is fiction again?
