Hi,

I'm new to this forum but not new to LOST. I have a theory to run past all you pros out there. Maybe this has been discussed in here already and if so I apologize.

Maybe when the plane crashed the passengers went through some sort of a time warp into the past. Or maybe their time slowed down while the island time kept going. Last night we saw the possibility of this when Desmond saw the future. The theory is kind of like the movie Planet of the Apes. Maybe the others are the children of the passengers! In the premiere this season we saw how concerned Ben is that Kate likes Sawyer more than Jack. Maybe Ben is the child of Kate and Sawyer or Kate and Jack and he needs to make sure no events in the past change which would affect the outcome of his life. In the previews of episode four the others are torturing Sawyer and asking Kate if she loves him. Almost like they are concerned who she hooks up with. Also, when all three (Kate, Sawyer, and Jack) woke up they had bandages on as if there had been blood tests done. Maybe the others are trying to find out who their parents are.

I know this is a WILD THEORY and I wish I could take credit for thinking it up. Let me know what you think.
