Jacob is God, Lost is TV shows mixed up with mythology and science fiction
It's very apparent that Jacob is God and Lost is actually a TV show mixed up with mythology and science fiction.
Just like BattleStar Galactica, it's not purely sci-fiction, it must blend mythology into it. Otherwise, you can explain all the bullSHEs.
Ghosts? they can be Jacob or evil guy.
I paste a post here, it explains everything.
Apparently Jacob is a Judeo-Christian God-like figure, the "others" and Richard are his angels, and the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, like many a vessel previously crashed at the island by Jacob, are his human flock. Jacob, or God, appears benevolently in the survivors' off-Island lives, sometimes intervening to save their lives while at other times offering encouragement or reassurance. Yet as Jacob mentions in the season finale, each human has "free will," something that plays out as a new band of cast away survivors arrive at the Island over the years, with some survivors choosing greater and lesser forms of conflict, violence, or peaceful co-habitation.
Of course, there is an alternative to Jacob, a Satan-like figure committed to killing him, and in search of a "loop" to do so. This Satan counterpart--(perhaps also the corporeal black cloud beast)--can inhabit the form of individuals who arrive dead at the island, like this season's Locke and importantly Jack's father.
In this human form, whether Locke in the season finale or Jack's father in previous episodes, Satan intervenes in the lives of the characters to lead them on a trajectory that enables him to ultimately kill Jacob at the end of the season finale.
In this view, the Island is a metaphor for a Judeo-Christian version of human history and civilization. Humans choose acts of good and evil with the free will to do so, as God and Satan watch and sometime intervene.
There's just one catch to Satan's success at the end of the finale: When the 1970s stranded survivors exploded the hydrogen bomb, the intervention likely altered the present time line enabling Jacob to escape the death that his evil Island counterpart had successfully put into action.
One last side note: If the Island is metaphorically a Judeo-Christian universe, then the Dharma Initiative represents the Enlightenment intervention of science and reason into the medieval equilibrium between God and Satan. The "Others" are traditional followers of Jacob, living like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Dharma Initiative are a combination of scientists, engineers, and New Age hippies ignorant of Jacob's existence but no less influenced by him.
