I think some fans of lost are over looking the reality of this tv show. These people are not apart of another planet or anything. There is some relation with them and the island but the reason why the others want the children is because they want their "civilization" to continue. I'm predicted that the cloud is "nanotechnology" and there is some mysterious power to the island in relation to the Dharma Project. And for those fans with these rediculous ideas about god and religion I just think you're way off. There hasn't ever been a show with the basis of religion. Sure there is the relation of Mr Ecko and religon but I don't think there is a whole religious explanation for the island and the way things have happened. Everyone on the show has some relation with eachother but I don't find that odd as much as everybody else does. In real life millions of people have remarkable and strange relations or occurences with people. Everyone is connected some way or another and everything we do is going to affect someone or something. People end up in the same places all the time but no one really notices it.

Aight Champ-Whoah... Whoah oh OH oh OH oh
