If fate and coincidence were a mechanism..surely the formula for creating or operating that mechanism would be numbers...and if the numbers are linked to certain characters, then fate has it's puppets.
Which, seems to be the case with the Oceanic 3..or certainly two of them so far (Jack and Hurley)..so it would seem that they are on fates string..
"it wants us to go back"
I'm interested to see you develop this theory esn, it's got potential!
I'll move this to T&S, where it seems more suited

Well its sorta a theory I had for a while - I need to find what I worte about it in the orginal GUT, and its just about the only part, I belive that hasnt been contradicted in someway
. I also belive its the one of the first theories I ever had back in the SFC4 days
. So in a way its not a new theory, its one thats just been revisited.
Ill try and find what I worte then and post it here to compare it to what I think now.
I agree with everything that youve said, its pretty much how I want to illustrate what Im getting at here. Ive always belived that the numbers do hold some meaning than just being mere easter eggs and that somehow, they bring all the 'losties' together, what with all the connections they all have.
Effectively, those numbers brought them to the island in some shape and form, one could argue that the numbers were responsible for the whole crash in the first place. Furthermore, its not just the 'losties' who were influenced by numbers, but also Danielle and Desmond also, and indirectly, 'the others'. which means, even more indirectly, the 'boaties' are also brought to the island by the numbers. In short - everyone on that island has been influenced by those numbers.
Why they are so powerful does remain to be seen of course - which then leads us to my 'central governor theory' an entirely different thread but basically somone or somthing be it a person, an entitiey or fate itself is using these numbers to bring all this together, and thus bring together the people involved.
