LOST Tonight (2/16) - "The Substitute"

[Bond]

I like this theory:


"If you have followed the Lost ARG's in between season, you know that THE NUMBERS are the VALENZETTI EQUATION. The Valenzetti Equation was discovered by a mathematician named Valenzetti, that accurately predicts the date in which humanity will extinguish itself. In Season's 4 & 5, Daniel Faraday talks a lot of "equations" "variables" and "constants". He says that the Variables are people, ("them" to be more accurately). And now we see The Numbers coinciding with different characters names sketched across a cave wall belonging to Jacob. This is not coincidence. I think we are going to see the Numbers begin to change.

Jacob is trying to bring together a group of people who will exist and save humanity after the end of the world. He has been on the island for so long that he has tried so many combinations of people. The "island" is humanity, and when MIB says to "go home" and screw the island, he is saying to just ascend to heaven and not worry about humans surviving on earth."
