I gave your theory a read, but just the way that you put it, almost insulting our intelligence for not seeing it the same way as you, that was off-putting.
If you had mentioned it, I would have said I respectfully disagree with you, but you pretty much flamed everyone out of the gates.

There are two ways to look at this, IMO:
1. Take the show at face value. The Smoke Monster, the Egyptians, Jacob, his mother, flash backs, flash forwards, flash sideways - all of it. Each character is earning his or her redemption, allowing them to pass on to the next world but they're all waiting until Jack's journey is completed. Once that's happened, they all move on to heaven, Nirvana, etc.
2. Everyone died on Flight 815. Jack has a flash just before death, in which he creates this entire epic world in which he's the hero and goes from a man of science to a man of faith. Once that journey's complete in his mind, he dies and goes to heaven.
Personally, I see it as Number Two but as I've said repeatedly throughout this thread (and personally apologizing for offending anyone), that's
MY interpretation only.
I'm not trying to convince anyone.
