I am sorry I am not seeing it, and nothing we have seen so far really points to that as a logical conclusion in my opinion. Thanks for the read though.
I also would echo the thoughts above, if that was the case I would be really disappointed by lost. We have all come to expect better. I do not even have a problem with mechanical devices or machines being the monsters on the island but to have the big reveal be a struggle between a time traveler and his on board computer seems really out there.
Lost has struggled to incorporate these elements (sci-fi) slowly, and allow the average fan to digest them. Even as we move towards end game I do not expect the writers to go this far.
Hello all new user here and I would like to bounce this one off you. Considering the writers are Jewish and that there has been a fare share of religious overtone I suggest you all Wiki Esau and tell me what you think about the story of Lost after that. The Biblical significance portion has the meat of the overview. Let me know what you all think about this…
To be honest the biblical explanation is the least likely theory, and the one that would most offend me as a loyal fan. Lost is a sci-fi show, and if it all turns out to be a piece of theological ego-massage I would be more disappointed. The fact that we have a creature that can emulate people and travel as smoke means its either a monster/spirit or piece of advanced technology. The latter would be more likely, and a purely spiritual, metaphorical answer would be such a letdown. Of course, if you already hold the assumption this tall tales from the old testament are REAL, then i suppose you wouldnt be so disappointed…
no offence but if this this the final secret, im sueing jj abrams
That would be pretty lame.
If he is a holographic image…
1)How does he push Jacob into the fire and touch things such as Mangos and boats?
2)Why wouldnt he just take Richards form, and lie to Locke/Ben from the start?
How do we know FOR SURE he didn’t just take Richard’s form? We don’t really know enough about Richard to deny this possibility.
Not that I think this is the case. 🙂

im not religious.. but the whole “god’s dont bleed” thing.. wasnt jesus technically a god..(in many people’s eyes) and he died, and bled.
Religion is certainly a theme incorporated into the show, but it’s mythology that propels it. All religious stories are mythological in nature.
