Probably the best 'Lost' theory ever...
polycounter lvl 19
I just read this. It's probably the best theory I've read on the show yet. I'm sticking to this thought until the show can prove otherwise.
Bloody good read.

yeah, 5 for each man... but then all the guys would be singing "heaven, i'm in heaven" While all the women kill each other over who gets to have a man.

If I remember correctly, in the film "Dr. Strangelove" it was determined that the optimal female:male ratio was 10:1, which sounds good to me. The women wouldn't kill each other, they'd just have to learn to share. Monogamy in that situation would be pointless. In fact, it would be more than pointless, it would be counter-productive.
So, I'd be fine with one hot woman and no one else
As for that page... it was very interesting and I think he has some great connections there. One problem I had with it though was where he suggests they faked the plane crash. Saying that everyone was knocked out, placed on the beach, then peices of the plane were placed around. While this may make it more believeable that they survived the crash, it doesn't explain why WE saw it crash
Seems like he just blows off anything that doesn't fit with his theory or can't explain right now. It's a good start though.
As for the show, I do wish they would stop jumping around now. It seems like they are completely ignoring that lab/room now. Who's entering the numbers? Locke's been on the beach an aweful lot for someone who's supposed to be watching that computer

I think he is mostly spot on with his theory about the purpose of the island, but I think it was left unattended and is running on auto pilot. Why else would the security system go crazy on the pilot (a survivor). Maybe they lost funding or something happened where they couldn't get the "chosen few" onto the island and into the shelter? Maybe they just happened to crash because of the wierd magnetic field thingy.
Who was Boone talking to just before the beachcraft fell off the cliff? Why would they not stop the plane from falling and save boone from dying, after all he is a young health survivor who is working closely with the islands advoate locke. If it is such a guilding force why is it screwing up soo much?
I guess you have to break a few eggs to make iced tea?

he was talking to Bernard from the back half of the plane.
A damn good one at that. I loved the explaination of Hanso.
People wonder why we saw it? Well we also hear the voices in the trees, the ghosts of various people. Basically all the types of things that the island makes people see and hear. I figure, they were knocked out. Given this dream, and then placed on the beach. Of course some people would be killed, or perhaps they never even existed and were only killed in the dream. who knows.
I take it you guys have never seen the 'cedric the entertainer' beer commercial where he fantasizes about being stranded on a deserted island. He imagines himself on an island with two beautiful women. He's laying in a hammock and these women come walking up.... then they start nagging about fixing the hut and so on. It's pretty funny, and probably closer to the truth

True, but we're talking about repopulating the Earth. A woman can only have one pregnancy every nine months, while a man can impregnate dozens of women over the same period of time, so logically speaking it would make sense to have several women to every man. Don't ruin my fantasy, man
For those of you who don't agree with the faked crash theory, heres why I think it would work

So you're saying that there is no spoon?
I wouldnt have put handle on the hatch either, little challenge is good to make them think, act and thus evolve.
Also if everything is too good to be true then people start to hatch conspiracy theories.
