Yeah, and Kate's becoming Jack -- she's the one defending science/logic.

Watching LOST reruns, I just saw the episode where Eko shows Locke the missing piece of tape from the Swan video. Locke goes on and on about what are the chances that we'd find this piece and you'd show up with the missing piece. It's fate! But then Eko says, "Don't mistake coincidence for fate."
I think the show is more and more moving towards being that everyone, the Losties and even the Others, are all nothing more than superstitious people interpreting supernatural events as fate/destiny.
