Redemption

Last fall I posted that I was disappointed in ABC for what they did with LOST. In fact many people were quite displeased with that mini-season. SO with much anticipation those of us who are LOST fans were awaiting something more to come in February, and did we ever receive it. There have been more answers and yes more questions, but the mythology of the island is alive and well again and that is what truly drives the show.

Last Fall the season was slow and unappreciated because it became about what some men were doing to people on an island. Jack, Sawyer and Kate were all caged up and we were only revealed a story line of the others. This same story line could be placed in any of the other shows on television. I think that one of the great attractions to LOST is that there is something metaphysical about the island, something supernatural. Call it postmodernism or whatever, but people are longing to find out more about a “higher power.” Whether this power be God or something innate in us humanity is searching for it, we want it. When we do not get it in an episode we complain. We are content with only questions because we realize there is something supernatural that we might or might not understand, but we like it because it is greater than what we know. We search for it and love it.

Thus this is my LOST argument for the existence of God.
