But that brings up questions:

Was Christian Shepard (when seen on the island) really Jacob? If so, he touched Aaron.

Why did Claire survive to give birth to Aaron when babies never survived to be born on the island?

Why was Claire hanging out in the cabin where Jacob supposedly dwelt? (Yes, I know most now assume that the being in the cabin was MIB, but was it really?)

Can we believe MIB when he says Jacob was "guiding" them to the island? Or was it a case of redemption? As of now (until proven otherwise), I think anything the MIB says should be viewed with a jaundiced eye, especially when it's pretty clear he's attempting to manipulate Sawyer into his corner. I think it is in his (MIB) best interest to cast doubt on Jacob in order to manipulate things in his favor and prevent the ascendancy of a "substitute".


Another question bothering me is if it was Jacob's list, why hadn't Locke's name already crossed off?
