This question reminds me of a thread some summers ago, concerning the extent of Tolkien's creationist theories.

Now, if we follow a creationist approach, there would be no change or evolution, so that the state of the half-elven ears would be determined at birth, or, rather, at conception. This would, though, impinge upon the free will of the half elven in deciding which way to go, assuming there would be a unity between the inner desire and the outer expression.

It's a mystery.
