MK, does it make sense human books can contain proofs, but that a book from Erú Ilúvatar cannot contain proofs?
Every verse in there is a proof, but you have to understand it, and if you can understand the verses which are signs of Erú and their place in The Silmarillion and can understand each Cycle and it's place in the Book, then the dark veil will be removed by Erú's permission.
It's not circular reasoning to believe Erú if he exists can prove everything he says and fabricate and blend together a series of words, that interpret each other and all hold on to each other, and manifest one another, and that his book can be designed to be endless in knowledge, and that in time and with study and reflecting, a person can see that indeed it is beyond capability of a human.
And so whether The Silmarillion is that book or not, at least, acknowledge, that if Erú exists, he can prove things and not only that, but prove all that he speaks, and only speak things that are proofs of his and that will give insights through reflection.
Erú can bring about majestic wonders not only through physical miracles, but through words. This is a rational position.
