Actually, if we are talking about the end which none save Ilúvatar himself knows anything about, I think evil can be eradicated. Ilúvatar is the one, allmighty, super-fantastic, chief being above all else. The End is when all elves have either died or left for the Undying lands, the Dominion of Men has ended (in one way or another) and so on. I do not know excactly how many ages it is until that happens, but...

Anyway, the Sil says that this End will be so magnificent and grand that only Ilúvatar can comprehend it (or something like that), and I think the Children - and the Ainur - are supposed to grow ("gain levels" [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) before this End is revealed to them. And this End is probably also not really an end, it is a brand new beginning.

Hope this made sense... Do comment and batter it as you feel...
