I'm still developing this theory, and I would love to get your inputs.

When Ben stole Alex, he committed a grave mistake in the eyes of the island. As a punishment, no more babies will be born on the island. This punishment was probably lifted when Boone died and Aaron was born which incidentally happened on the same day. "Boone was a sacrifice that the island demanded."

Instead of accepting this punishment of not having babies, Ben tried to defy the island by bringing in Juliet, a fertility doctor. Ben didn't want his beloved Alex to die (That's why Ben was so against Karl too). To convince Juliet to stay, Ben said he will cure her sister's cancer. Nobody gets cancer on the island, acc to Ben. But the island punished him again by giving him a tumor.

Again, instead of accepting his fate, Ben manipulated the survivors of 815, so Jack would cure him. Ben succeeded in having Jack operate on him. But this was not what the island wanted.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the survivors of 815 were brought to the island to be judged. It is not a coincidence that Sayid, Jin, Kate, Sawyer, Ana Lucia, Mr. Eko were all murderers. It is the duty of the Others to make sure that the innocent/good ones will be evacuated from the island.

Ana Lucia's group: Goodwin was able to make a list fast. So, they were able to get the good ones, especially the kids out. Ana Lucia asked Goodwin why she was not taken, and he replied that she was not a good person. As to Bernard and Libby, either they did something heinous too, or Ana Lucia was just able to protect them. Powerful as the island may be, Ana Lucia can still exercise her free will. We know that Mr. Eko had been judged already. As for Ana, she died bec Michael exercised his free will to kill her.

Jack's group: In one episode, it was said that Ethan was not able to make a list, and I think this caused the Others in failing in their duty to separate the good ones from those who need to be judged. Ethan, a doctor, became preoccupied with Claire and her pregnancy. Some of the people in Jack's group should have been taken off the island months ago. The resistance shown by Jack and his people was also a variable. I think it is wrong to assume that the survivors were brought to the island for the same reason. Some may have just been there by chance. In one episode, Mikhail told Kate that she was not a good person. Also, when Locke decided to join the Others, the Others rejected Kate because of what she did outside the island. She still has to be judged.

That was why when some of the survivors were able to leave the island, Ben (and Locke) had to make them come back. The reason why they crashed in the island in the first place had not yet been accomplished. "The island is not yet through with them."

Locke, a good man outside of the island, was probably brought to the island as he was chosen by the island to lead the Others. The island made him walk, healed his gun shot wound, and ultimately resurrected him. I believe that Locke was indeed resurrected by the island. If the new Locke was just the black smoke in disguise, there was no reason for Locke to show himself to the Ajira survivors while Ben was passed out. Also, by extension, Christian would just be the smokey too, but Locke was with the Ajira survivors at about the same time Christian was talking to Sun. So, 2 smokeys then? Don't think so.

I think Walt was previously taken by the Others for the same reason that the kids from Ana Lucia's group were taken. They just didn't anticipate Michael's desperation to get his son back. Then, Ben, for selfish reasons, abused this desperation for his own needs, i.e., to get to Jack with the end view of having Jack operate on him. We have to make distinctions now on which ones were decisions of the island, and which ones were Ben's decisions.

I'm not sure if Charlie was taken to the island in order to be judged too. Drug addiction seems a minor offense. But if so, I think he died after he has changed his ways. After a series of tests, he finally rejected drugs. The island decided that he passed the test. I'm trying to make distnctions between deaths caused by men (Ana Lucia, Libby) and "accidental" deaths (Boone, Charlie). So-called accidental deaths were probably the decision of the island, but not those caused by men (free will).

A popular theory among fans is that the show is about reincarnation. This could be true. Some of the survivors were in the island to be judged whether they have learned their lesson already. Again, some of them were there by chance only, and had to be removed. If judgment is that the survivor has not yet learned his lesson, he will die and reincarnated and brought back to the island again for another judgment. Our survivors may have originally been part of the same group of Egyptians who have always found themselves on that same island. I'm also thinking that the survivors of 815 were the same people (souls?) from the Black Rock that shipwrecked on the island years/decades ago.

Manila, only babies convieved on they island die, alex and sun's baby were concieved off the island so they were able to be born without death.
I am thinking babies were never sucessfully concieved and born on the island and that is why there is the huge fertily *@!#!$* statue's foot on the island.
(forgot about not being able to type g..o..d..d..e..ss..) how silly.
