I actually don't have a problem with that. As I said, they're examining a part of the person that we haven't actually met, but got hints of. It's apparent that they want to make us understand that (a) small changes in one's life will make for wildly divergent future timelines, and (b) even so, there are "beacons" through life that we must hit. Places, events, people. Even though they're all living very different lives in the alternate timeline, their paths are still crossing. Doesn't necessarily mean that "destiny has brought them together" as much as "their life must pass these beacons at some point".
All of that will fall apart, however, if they decide to "merge" the timelines in the last 20 minutes of the final show

Last night I did notice that most of the characters lining up with Locke/Nemesis share a common theme, whereas the characters lining up in Jacob's camp share a different but common theme. Interesting...

Jacob already told us who is to be the replacement...there is only one character (that I can think of) who is truly innocent, who exemplifies the humanity that Jacob claims to be nurturing. Everyone else has committed grievous sins both on and off the island.
