This theory, I suspected a while ago and I thought about a lot, and thanks to Joe’s spoiler I can acually tie some things together.
A while ago I was reviewing the 1st season of Lost “Deus Ex Machina” and I came across a scene that if watching for the first time would have been passed without much thought. It was a flashback for Locke, and he was sitting and having coffee with his biological mother. She said that he was special and was part of a design. Design. Hold that word for a second. In Joe’s spoiler (thanks again Joe) It was described as a scene in the 50’s, with Richard and a woman who was Emily Locke. The nurses said that they were going to bring in a baby soon.
Back to design. Locke would have been born around the 50's and they said they were going to bring in a baby. I remember Juliet using the word design more than once in her fertility research. Since Richard was with the hostiles then he must have known about the fertility problem and if Emily Locke had something to do with that then that means that Locke may have been concieved or born on the island.
I think he was born or concieved on island and that makes Emily Locke's comment on him being specail true. Also Ben probaley doesn't know or is pretending not to know because he said " I don't know how it happened john but you have some sort of communion with this island". Another clue is that Emily said that John was immaculately concieved, But John's father matched his DNA. So does that mean that Lockes father had been on the island too?
I think that this is my best theory yet and I want everyone to consider it.

i read that spoiler too, sounds like it will be a great episode!
however, i think that the reason she said he was “special” and “immaculately conceived” was explained in the episode? because lockes dad wanted her to say that so the whole cooper-locke meeting thing would be lockes idea, and therefore he would be more likely to give him a kidney.
having said that, now that we know that locke definately does have a connection to the island, and we have the richard and possibly baby locke spoiler, it sounds like there might be more to those lines than we originally thought. maybe it wasnt just part of the con, but emily locke was trying to slip locke some subtle hint.
anyway, +1.its plausible, but i am not sure about cooper having been on the island before though, since he described it as “hell” when we saw him on the island.
first off, flagged as spoiler, also i recently watched that and i did think that the word design ment something. considering he is “special” i have a feeling its sort of the same way walt is “special” how things tend to happen around them that are unexpainable
