Everyone else - Middle Earth isn't just earth. Gondorians were based off Romans, but so very different, and that would apply to other factions. Now, don't let Heart diminish you with the false fact that Middle Earth conforms to Earth standards.

Proof for this is that Earth had no elves, magic (unless you found God), orcs, physical form demons, giant golden trees, talking trees, and about one million other things. And you always try and push me below yours. Stop.

Look at the map of Arda, can you see no resemblance? A different origin, perhaps. But look at what most religions say about the creation of Earth and then the truth - they're different. Gondorians were based off of the Romans, the Elves off of the Greeks, the Dwarves largely Hewbrew society, Hobbits English society, Harad (in the filled in context) being African society. See some resemblance?

No elves? Perhaps, but these could just be like Europeans seeing Africans as a different race but amplified is one explanation. No 'magic'? One, don't say magic. Two, 'magic', as you call it, is the invocation of a Vala, so it very much is 'God'. Have you not seen the Bible talk of physical demons, and whatever you take Revelation to be? Surely if such a book were to be true this is just symbolism? And Ed, this is high fantasy - yet the world of men is a parallel that can be drawn. You can't claim the bit that I'm not claiming to be the same is different to contradict my point; it just doesn't work.
