It is a vessel for time travel. Furthermore, some terrible event happens (in the future), and this is mankind trying to solve it by travelling back in time. What that event is? Nobody knows, because if not it would cease to be a watchable show!! But I like your idea with the island, it balances out well. Also regarding smokies scanning, it is dangerous to assume. For example why doesnt he kill Richard on the black rock? Well he scanned him and realised he could use him to try and kill jacob. So once he frees him, he manipulates him to kill Jacob. he did the same thing with ben. Scanned him, and used him for his time loop. And it was successful. Scanned Eko, tried to use him, but then killed him off once he knew he didnt need him. So I believe scanning is merely to see if there is something it can use from that persons life (love for a dear one, family, revenge eg Locke, Sawyer). So good and bad, evil and god is still a viable option I believe. Lostitute, I agree 100% that the island comes from the future.

Ms. Hawking 'rung it home' again when she told Desmond that what he was doing was a violation. As both she and Widmore keep repeating to Desmond that 'the island' isn't finished with him, I have to believe that 'the island' does play a significant role, aside of Jacob and Nemesis. The 'island' does seem to have a will of its own. Really nice theory! Lostitute, I love your theory about ‘the island’.

Long ago some people were talking about mirror matter/antimatter/neagative matter. I think that supports the idea that MIB is going to destroy everything by leaving in a scientific sense. Perhaps he is a flip side. If he were to come in contact with the opposite side of the spectrum, it would unravel everything. I also think that we may have been misled when Jacob says the island is a cork and holding the evil in. I wonder if it's more like Jacob is on one side of the cork, and MIB is on the other. It could get pulled out either way. That’s something else in regards to MIB being evil incarnate I have been thinking.

You have here a very interesting well grounded theory. However, I don't believe that the island comes from the future. I liked your reference to the conversation between Eloise and Desmond. I think, as said in another post by appledouble, that Eloise is a character that must exist since the beginning of the existence of the island, she's probably not the mother of Jacob and MIB but she's a person who knows all the secrets about the island (for example, its exact location),Jacob, MIB and the alternate reality. For me, she is kind of a legislator or a judge. I believe she is the one who dictated the rules of the "game". Hello Lostitute.
