			Sorry for not giving reasons... 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I thought that since Tolkien was a christian and he said that ME was the same world we live in, wouldn't it just be logical that the god was same also?

			I vote no thanks largely to Estelyn’s arguments.  I was going to vote “yes” without much thought to it or, more than likely, not vote at all because; frankly, I don’t have much time to research the subject.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	But I think Estelyn is entirely right. There are parallels, perhaps the largest one being that they both created a world, but, again, as Esty pointed out, Eru at no time seemed much interested in a personal relationship with his creation. There’s my explanation, & thanks to Esty for doing all the work of expressing it.
