Whats to come!!
I think I have an idea. It has many holes and won’t plan out totally like this but i think this is more or less whats gonna happen. Jack and Sayid take the bomb to the orchid and find a way to blow it up. They realise those who are still on the island are gonna die. Richard or someone suggests they use the temple as a protection ( it is a sacred, amazingly spooky place, plus its underground) Jack likes this and they go there. Worried about fallout from the blast they get concreted in ( how do they get food? I have no idea) Richard leaves them there, he can travel in time you see. Those who survive the blast become the others we know of from season 1, or at least there families, hwy can’t they have children? The radation from the bomb of course. This is why they steal the kids to keep their society from collapsing. So where does this leave us. 2007 john Locke goes to the temple asks Richard to let us see Jacob. Why does he want help, because he has been stuck in the temple all this time. The supposed leaders have abused his wishes and have not let him out because they were frightened what would happen. Richard opens at JOhn’s request and out falls JACK and the losties from the past only 30 years older… ohhhhh.

Hmmm….Don’t know about that…

Nice try at a theory. Keep chipping away at it.
What is the smoke monster?
Who later builds the Swan station?
Why would 815 crash (or where would John Locke come from in the first place?)
GK21, I also have had similar thoughts in past, but think there may be other alternatives.
I don’t think anything you’ve mentioned is out of the realm, but am not sure how it will all play out!
Good thoughts!
Ok I’ll try a d explain what I think some of the holes are. I think firstly that the temple is much more than we think. I think it will end up being something from the future which the Egyptians have worshipped. This starts the island mythology. I believe the temple allows for travelling in time and Richard does this. He is an advisor because he knows what is to come as dies eliose and Charles. The losties will be stuck in here and will be able to get some access to the outside world. Probably parallel universe type thingbecause of the incident. This willbecome the whispers and they maybe the ones comunicatong with michael I. Season 1 through the computer claiming to be walt. The smoke monster I believe is the manifestation of judgement and it’s place on the island comes from the fact gnat it is from the future. It is controlled by water and hence the reason it cannot leave the island and this is how ben can release it. The stations I believe are built by remaining dharma to attempt to thwart amy further incidents. The incident causes this parallel world type tho g and Horace is theonly one who can hear Jacob from this . He builds him the cabin in a bid to save him but young ben takes over, killing Horace and claiming he hears Jacob. Jacob is with the ithe guys trapped I the temple parallel time, whatever. They are released by Richard and appear as oldies. Again loads of holes I am just trying to invoke different schhols of thought.
On a quick side note:
“The women can
