So, I think I figured out Lost

After watching last night's head scratcher, I'm wondering if the show is about life's greatest mystery -- where do we come from? 

Last night we learned about "The Source", which was defined as the source for pretty much everything (life, death, good, evil). By not knowing where we originate from (Big Bang vs God -- or Science vs Faith -- or Jack vs Locke), we're effectively "lost" since we don't know how go back to our very first starting point. In other words, returning "home" is nearly impossible (like being lost on an unknown, remote island).

We also have the origins of good (Jacob) and evil (MiB). In addition, the battle between good vs evil is represented as a game (the stone game where you roll *ahem* sticks to determine what happens next) and the rules of the game change depending on who's in control -- just like life.

Electromagnetism on the island *could* be a Big Bang reference -- black holes are associated with electromagnetism and black holes are directly associated with the Big Bang. I also found this site (http://www.big-bang-theory.com) which refers to the Big Bang as a moment of "singularity" -- the characters are currently experiencing "duality" (real vs alternate reality), yet are unknowingly pursuing "singularity". 

If I'm correct, last night's episode makes more sense. Unfortunately, this is also WAY too much for your average viewer to digest and could result in a lot of "Well, I just wasted 6 years watching this dumb show" viewer reactions. With only 2 episodes left, we'll have our answers soon.
