Fili brought these questions up in another thread, but I think they deserve a thread all their own. Here they are:
Hey ho diddle dee ;D
It's a question you want ?
Then here it is......Eru is the one and the Valar are but creations and facets of him.
Then why did he create Melkor..Why did he empower him so??
Why did Eru allow the marring of Arda ??
Does the lord of creation make mistakes ?
he he ho ho ;D

Iluvatar created the Ainur with the Flame Imperishable of his own spirit and revealed to each of them a part of his own mind. So when he revealed part of his mind to Melkor are we to think that part of Iluvatar mind was Evil.
I dont think it would have been right for Eru to get involved, for any race to ivolve they have to learn by there mistakes

Ea (arda and the heavens) - (forgive my lack of special characters) -although given being by iluvatar - was down to the valar to independently develop - as per the music of the ainur
therefore iluvatar did not generally get involved

I think he was giving them a choice. To be good, or to be evil. Just the way God made us. With a choice. Also, he might be trying to test their will, but probably not.

I think also that he wanted to balance Manwe. It says in the Sil that Manwe and Melkor were equally "strong". One strong person is never good, there has to be a balance, even if it's bad or good.
