We all know that the island has "healing powers" as we've seen a crippled man gain back the use of his legs, a woman with cancer supposedly healed, and general injuries heal faster than normal according to many quotes.  If these healing powers are taken a little further, the result could possibly be bringing dead people back to life.  I think there may have been hints at this.

First of all, in Season 1, Jack found his father's coffin on the island, but it was empty.  We've seen Christian several times through several eyes (Jack, Claire, and John for sure).

The most significant evidence for resurrection on the island in my opinion is Episode 3-5, "The Cost of Living."  In this episode, Mr. Eko and John Locke (along with some other losties) are at the Pearl/drug smuggler's plane.  Yemi's (Mr. Eko's brother) body  is supposed to be in the plane, so John and Eko roll away a large stone from in front of the plane entrance.  When Eko enters the plane, he finds that Yemi's body is missing.  This seems to be reference to the empty tomb of Jesus.

When Mr. Eko talks to Yemi (just before the black smoke kills Eko), Yemi says something like, "You speak to me as though I were your brother" to which Eko responded, "WHO ARE YOU?!"  I think that perhaps Yemi's body was raised from the dead or controlled by Jacob maybe.  Remember also that in "Cabin Fever," Christian said that he could speak on behalf of Jacob.

So, are Christian and Yemi really (still?) dead?

Ah, I forgot about that!


It's an interesting theory.

giemy  told eko he was not his brother....i m sure it was the fu**en smoke....
christian is just being used by jacob.....
the producers told he is dead.........

well richard asked ben when he was a kid If his mother diesd off the island and  when he told him yes he wasnt suprised that ben saw her twice..
Maybe thats a place that you cant see and speak with dead people in various ways..It doeasnt mean they are alaive.....
