The island is the garden of eden. think about it. first point: Eko was thrashed and bashed once he didn't confess, and was also as i read in another blog on this site, was thrown in the shape of a cross.
Second point: the show mainly centers around religion. Charlie found his drugs in a mary statue, a Christian figure.
third point: Eko is religious, and caries a stick of scripture, and in the second season, i think it was in the 7th episode, the ex-cop (i forgot her name) when she saw the stick said: "whats that?" and Eko replied: "things i need to remember"
fourth point: right before Eko died at the hands of smokey, he said: "the lord is my shepherd - i shall not want"
The garden of eden was hidden from the world in the bible, when eve and adam became sinful, A.K.A the reason the island couldn't be seen from above. smokey is the snake who baited eve for the apple, as the snake was the devil in disguise, and on the island is where the devil lurks, A.K.A the smoke monster, and the sign when the hatch exploded on the timer was underworld, because it set smokey the devil free and allows him to attack the world with his counterparts, and the losties find the only way to save the world. the other "others" on the island are the devils counterparts, taking children and manipulating them.
end of theory
by the way, we still don't know why Walt was seen in the first episode of the second season...
