That theory has been pretty much poo-pooed by the creators, although they admitted to liking the idea.

Like a moth the the flame!

I had reached the stage recently where I didn't care about spoilers because I was becoming bored, but the last two I've seen have ignited my interest again, so I'm trying to be careful!

cant believe i've just spent the last 15 minutes reading through the links that Willsy posted....

I think I'm gonna go back to my original Bobby Ewing theory.
At least that doesnt give me a headache.

Exactly Jessop!!!

WTF:

The philosophy of “Atlantis Rising” clearly represents what is happening psychologically to the castaways (take Locke for a basic example). The other ideal are too. The Zero Point is on the Mural. The Blue Right Eye of Horus is also on the mural representing the end of the world coming “Out of the Blue”. And also the Creational Geometry information to be released (can be represented by the priest found in the tree, even though he wasn’t really a priest, but its still symbolic).

Other indications of the mural include the Mayan Messiah, Quetzacoatl. Translated into English as meaning “Feathered Serpent” or “Serpent Bird”, if you really look at the right of the mural, you can see what can be construed as a bird with its beak wide open around the word “Sick” (you can even infer a tongue there too). The everything to the north of it looks like overlapping shapes of similar color (feathers?). The possibility of this being the monster on the island cannot be rejected.

We know that something went wrong in the middle of the DHARMA initiative that requires them to push the button every 108 minutes (which is the sum of the infamous numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42). But what went wrong? I propose that the island started to move along the rifts. The island was stationary to begin with in the Atlantic. Probably just starting to rise a century or two ago. What do we know that is that old on the island? The Black Rock of course. If it was indeed a slave trade ship, it would have been traveling between Africa and America. It hit the island when it was lower than it is now. Over the years, the island rose more, which is why there is no beach around it. Next we have the ship with Rousseau. 16 years ago, her ship was doing a geological study off of South America only to pick up the signal and crash there. About 10-12 years ago, a small airplane containing drugs crashes on the island. Maps of Nicaragua are found on the plane. Hurley’s insane mental patient friend was working a post in Alaska about 7 years ago, analyzing signals over the Pacific and picked up the island’s transmission. 3 years ago, Desmond’s ship gets caught on the Great Barrier Reef and drifts to the island. And flight 815 crashes on the island, off course between Sydney and America, heading slightly north towards Fiji.

My god, I'm completely 'lost in that forum but there's something I have to ask and I'm sorry if it's dumb...is the Dharma initiative a real thing? Or is this just made up by the writers of Lost?

just saw something else interesting:

Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof who are writers for Lost said the following in an interview.

"But the creators do know how the series ends. The survivors will not learn they are part of some dastardly experiment, or discover they are in purgatory, or wake up from a bad dream. "These guys get off the island," said Cuse.

Then, nearly in unison, both men add, "If it's an island.""

The first link i posted (geocities one) i believe to be an actual institute and when i read the website it made me think that perhaps the whole ethos of Dharma was used by the writers of lost as research and to create the story...

The next two though (Dharma initiative and Hanso foundation) i think are definitly ones created for Lost.

The Hanso one is interesting if you go to the "active projects" section...there are definite clues in these websites as to what might be going on experiment wise on the island (elecromagnetic, life extension, mathematical forecasting) and prob the rest we have not been shown yet!!

I apologise for not explaining or elaborating much here but i have not had a good read of these sites yet myself!

I have a feeling this thread will reveal lots in the coming months
