My great grand theory to explain all of LOST
This is my pet theory. It can be argued, picked apart, etc. This is what I'm wondering if LOST could be, but even I'm not sure. I think I'm probably WAY off.
Please do not "troll" on comments, because I am not 100% convinced that this is accurate or close. If you have any comment, be nice and state well-reasoned arguments for or against this theory. ALL VIEWPOINTS ARE WELCOME, as long as they are stated clearly with good evidence and are not trolling/flaming in nature.
Here goes...
The island is the Garden of Eden (or something similar). To protect it, the Island constantly moves through space time. The "monster" is like the cherubim guarding the center of the Island. Some time in the past, Egyptian explorers stumbled onto the Island. The Isl…
Why I like using "Esau" as a temporary name for Jacob's enemy...
From the article on Room 23:
- The Bible - The "God loves you as He loved Jacob" slide is a reference to Malachi 1:2-3 and Romans 9:13.

Again, to echo the quote, God chose to love Jacob even though Esau was the child that should have received the inheritance of Isaac.
If it was a simple matter of the "Esau" name be…
Season 6 predictions
Okay, here's my predictions:
Miles was right. They DID cause the events they were trying to prevent. Dr. Chang's arm was still hurt by the Incident. The Swan was cemented over "just like Chernobyl" because Juhead detonaed. I know that our people detonated Jughead already because Richard Alpert said that he remembers the Losties in Dharma because he "watched them die". This wouldn't have happened if our people had never gone back. If they had yet to go back, then Richard couldn't have remembered watching them die already. Plus, how could Richard remember watching them die (unless in the Purge) since Richard is a Hostile/Other an probably would not have access to Dharma people/captives. Now that the Losties have been discovered, it is unlikel…
