It definitely seems like they are trying to lead us in thinking that the Losties who are time-traveling have much to do with why the island is the way it is when they first land there. The H-bomb getting buried, the saving of Amy and the birth of Ethan, and now all of this with little Ben; the Losties played major roles in all these events. Makes my head spin. It's exactly like that movie Twelve Monkeys. I agree.

Sort of like which came first the chicken or the egg? Why would they come back to change it if it never happened to start with? So I guess they didn't cause it, but it does seem like they are trying to lead us that way. -Benhamine You’ve got a good point…I hadn’t considered that as a paradox but I see the problem.

Its meaning is as follows: A person(s), go back in time to stop or change something, and cause the very problem that they are trying to prevent. But that cannot be correct, that is a paradox, and there are no paradox on Lost... Benhamine, that is called a predestination paradox. Its meaning is as follows:

We're not trying to say that Jack or Sayid could have done something different...because they didn't. All that is being pointed out is the irony. Sayid tried to kill Ben to keep him from being what he is and Jack tried to just let him die (I know he says he believes that nothing can be changed...but I feel he doesn't) to keep him from becoming what he is and yet their actions are what drove Ben into becoming what he is. It's just ironic and that's why it's worth pointing out. -Benhamine HBK, we know that this already happened.

Smokey determines if you meet certain standards(most likely the will to sacrifice the right of innocence) and then proceeds to either kill you(access denied) or looks you in the face and sees that the island needs you(access granted). This is why John Locke had the 'death stare' and the island/Smokey realized he is fit and meets the standards. As for Ben, the son of a DHARMA worker, must meet with Smokey to see if he has the will. Just an idea, but could Smokey be the 'Bouncer' to the island and Jacob is the overall 'boss/owner'. All at the same time having 'temporary managers' (leaders of the others). As for Richard Alpert, he could maybe be the island's 'Apprentice' so to speak. Once again, this is just an idea as to what the different people are 'destined' to be on the island.
