This is all I found on Ea. Sorry if it is not what you are looking for.
1. In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, Eä is the Quenya language name for the universe, as a realization of the vision of the Ainur. The word comes from the Quenya word for to be. Thus, Eä is the World that Is, as distinguished from the World that Is Not. It may thus be assumed that everything outside Eä, including the Timeless Halls of Ilúvatar, has no material form.
The Ainur, angelic beings from the Timeless Halls beyond Eä, refer to it as "the Little Kingdom". This refers to the fact that within the mind of Eru Ilúvatar (God, in Tolkien's legendarium), all creation that humans can see is really just a tiny thing in comparison.
Eä was the word spoken by Eru Ilúvatar by which he brought the universe into actuality.
2. In the fantasy world of Earthsea created by Ursula K. Le Guin, Éa is an island in the Sea of Éa, between Enlad and Havnor. According to the Earthsea creation myth, The Creation of Éa, the island of Éa was the first land raised by the creator, Segoy, above the waters.
Éa is also Sindarin for "Let it be!" and is used by Iluvatar, J. R. R. Tolkien's God-figure, to actually bring the world into existence. This is almost certainly a coincidence, as the Silmarillion was written long before A Wizard of Earthsea, but published afterwards.

From what I understand the modern idea about the god Ea is that god is not a being but part of everything. The universe is god. All its parts atoms and molecules are part of the concept of a god that has no form. A god that cannot be seen. A god that is not in human form but the spirit of existence. This is said to be modern. But it is really not as parts of the concepts are in all religions but mankind's vanity or need for power intervenes.
Ea and its variations seems to occur in many languages past and present referring to god or spirit with different but similar meanings

Enki was a deity in Sumerian mythology, later known as Ea in Babylonian mythology. The name Ea is of Sumerian origin and was written by means of two signs signifying "house" (E) and "water" (A/Ab)
Enki was the deity of water, intelligence and creation. The main temple of Enki was the so-called é-engur-a, the "house of the lord of deep waters"; it was in Eridu, which was then located in the wetlands of the Euphrates valley not far from the Persian Gulf. He was the keeper of the holy powers called Me, the gifts of civilised living. Enki is also the master shaper of the world, God of wisdom and of all magic. The exact meaning of his name is not sure: the common translation is "Lord of the Earth": the Sumerian en is translated as "lord", was originally a title given to the High Priest; ki means "earth"; but there are theories that ki in this name has another origin, possibly kur (= mound). In this way it is just possible that in origin Enki was a divinitized human, high priest of the mound of Eridu, on which the first Sumerian temple was built.
He is the lord of the Apsu (Akkadian, Abzu in Sumerian, hence Greek and English Abyss) , the fresh-water ocean of groundwater under the earth. His name is possibly an epithet bestowed on him for the creation of the first man, Adamah or Adapa. His symbols included a goat and a fish, symbols at the opposite ends of the year (Pisces and Capricorn) which later combined into a single beast, the Capricorn, which became one of the signs of the zodiac. Enki in Sumerian astronomy also represented the planet Mercury, known for its ability to shift rapidly, and its proximity to the Sun, Sumerian Utu, Akkadian Shamash, the God of Justice.
In character Enki is not a joker or trickster God, he is never a cheat, a fool nor a shapeshifter. Enki uses his magic for the good of others when called upon to help either a God, a Goddess or a Human. Enki is always true to his own essence as a masculine nurturer. He is fundamentally a trouble-shooter God, and avoids or disarms those who bring conflict and death to the world. He is the mediator whose compassion and sense of humour breaks and disarms the wrath of his stern half-brother, Enlil, king of the Gods. He is the Challenger who tests the limits of Inanna in the myth Enki and Inanna and the Me and then concedes graciously his defeat by the young goddess of Love and War, by strengthening the bonds between Eridu and her city of Uruk. So he becomes the Empowerer of Inanna. Enki is always direct and upfront. Enki does not hide, or have any hidden agenda.
Enki has been said to be:
"The most complete and modern mirror of masculine wholeness in Mesopotamia and world religion. His values and attributes are timeless, and it is not surprising to see that He is one of the most beloved gods of Mesopotamia. How can He be so whole? Because in Him the passionate and joyous Lover, the Mystic, the Strategist, the Sorcerer, the Divine Manager, the Keeper of World Order and Rescuer of Humankind and Gods alike are all One.
Enki is ... the gallant, impetuous, energetic Lord of Wisdom, the Seeker after truth, and Master Adept in sorcery, enchantment and seduction." [2]

It sounds to me like it is a fictional way to portray the same G-- that we all worship. The same story from Genesis and the same principals and morals apply as well. G--, G-d, Yawhe, Jehovah, YHVVE, ABBA, Allah, Enlightenment, Dios, Ea, and who knows how many more. "what's in a rose, that by any other name, does not cease still to be a rose"

EA was the Sumerian god of Water and Parallels Neptune of later times. He was one of the three primal gods of Sumer:EA god of water Enlil god of earth:and Anu-god of heaven. Each god had a wife or consort, and the wife of Enlil was Ninlil. The LIL root in his and her name came over3500 years to survive in the names of Allah and Allat, the god and goddess of Mecca in Muhammed's day. I don't know if this is the information you were after?

No asinine comments? That takes the fun away.
If you don't believe in the God of the bible, then why worry if we tell you how you are going to hell for your false beliefs?

It is written in Isaiah, "Seek the Lord your God, with all your heart, while He still may be found."Seems to me there will come a time, where He (God) no longer can be found.
