Is Claire Dead?

There seems to be a theory out in the Lost-universe that is gaining popularity. It is that Claire did NOT, in fact, survive the explosion of her house. This post from Lostpedia forum seems to sum up what the general theory is. What do you guys think?

Quote:

CLAIRE: What's going on?
LOCKE: Claire?
SAWYER: You all right, sweetheart?
CLAIRE: Yeah, a bit wobbly, but, uh, I'll live.
MILES: Well, I wouldn't be too sure about that. (The Shape of Things To Come)
What wouldn’t you be sure about Miles? What are you implying or inferring (whichever tickles your fancy)? Could our sweet sweet Claire already be lost? Did claire die in the explosion? Indeed, she died, just not in the sense of death we have become very familiar with, as our oh oh so clever Darlton have coined. For years Darlton have implied, “Dead can have several meanings, what do you mean?” Well, I am beginning to allign my thinking to that of Darlton.
Notice, in “Something nice back home” Miles repeatedly looks at Claire intrigued. To a superficial mind, like that of Sawyer, you think he is checking out her good looks. If you had the abilities of Miles would you not look the same way at a walking talking corpse?
In the jungle,
SAWYER: How's your head?
CLAIRE: It's better. Bit of a headache, but at least I'm not seeing things anymore.
MILES: Yeah? What'd you see?
SAWYER: Back off, Donger. (Something Nice Back Home)
Sawyer maybe you should shutup and let Miles talk!!!What would a person who died on the Island see? -Lostpedia forums

Steph, you're a genius!

I think you might definitely have something there. You'll see why!

I read an interview with David and Carlton and they said not to focus on if Claire is dead, but on what could happen to her.. what do you think that means Queen???

Oh great catch guys!

Miles saw something about Clair....something he was not used to. I don't think he can see dead people, he can hear them. If this makes any sense, I think he looked at her as if she was half way in, half way out......whatever that means. That's why he asked "Yeah, what did you see?"

OOOOhhhh!!!! I don't know Daveoz! That is intriguing!!! What could happen to her? She's...... well..... already dead.

I think the way she acted in the cabin she may already be dead. I don't know if it's the explosion that did it or something in the woods the night she ran off with Christian. I would be very surprised if she is alive still.

That evilishly-knowing smirk she had in the cabin creeped me out. That was not the Claire we know.

In season four of Babylon-5, when Wade is preparing Michael Garibaldi to work
for William Edgars, he tells him that everything is an illusion; a metaphor. Part
of that was Ellison and Straczynski commenting on the medium, itself. But that
conversation also takes place at the same point in that series as to where we
are now in LOST.

We see Locke having a conversation with Horace, a mathematician who chose
that spot to build the cabin for a reason. The image of the tree being felled in
a loop shows its importance. Ben's relationship to Jacob parallel's Locke's to
Claire, which is why he can see her. It may be because of the tie between
Christian and Claire that we see him at all. There's as much good writing in
both of these shows : We just have to let it play out, and not take it too
seriously.

Claire must be dead, she would NEVER leave Aaron otherwise.
