LOST theories?

Locke is the reincarnation of Jacob.alsoDHARMA Initiative = Charles Widmore, Keamy, Horace Goodspeed, Dr. Alvar Honso/Edgar Halowax/Edmond Wickman, everyone else before the Purge.The Others/Hostiles = Jacob, Richard, Abbadon, Goodwin, Mrs Goodwin.....and they all have four toes!What are your LOST theories?What are your LOST theories?I like to repeat myself.Oh yeah!I do think that Richard is Locke's father.Locke's mother's mother didn't agree with her dating a man that was twice her age.Funny, because Richard is more like 100 times her age.Locke's"father", Anthony Cooper (the one he gave his kidney to), might've conned Locke into thinking he's his father.if you rewatch that episode, Locke's"father"and mother look the same age. also, the conversation where Anthony tells Locke,"you needed a father figure and i needed a kideny"says to me that he's not really his father. just someone filling those shoes.taken from the LOSTpedia forumthx to csmudd0 for the awesome info!"i realize the Buddha was mentioned earlier in this thread but i wanted to elaborate somewhat...Regarding Little John's test - it is exactly like how each successive Dalai Lama is chosen. Children who may be the reincarnation of the Buddha are presented with items, some of which belonged to the most recent Dalai Lama, and are asked to choose which items"already"belong to them.This ties in nicely with other references to Buddhism: namaste, dharma, etc. etc.The writers/producers totally ripped this scene from Kundun (1997) a biography of the 14th reincarnation of the Dalai Llama -- its setup in exactly the same fashion. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the tag line of the film is:"The destiny of a people lies in the heart of a boy."What say you?? Is John Locke the reincarnation of some former island deity? Or was it simply a test to find out Locke's precognitive abilities??"

Do you think Richard is John Locke's father? Also, I was wondering if Richard is Jacob? I am so confused!! What favor could Kate possibly be doing for Sawyer? Also, do you think Claire is dead? If she is how?? Also why was Miles able to see Jack&Claire's dad? Again, I am soooo confused. Everytime they answer 1 question, I have 2 more questions. Lost is such a great show!!! I know I am only asking questions and not posting any theories but I wanted to see what other people thought. :-)
