It is a blurred line that lies at the edge of Godhood and Insanity. Guess which side of it I am on.

I don't know if this theory has been said already so i'll say it anyway. If you remember in the first Halo, Guilty Spark says when talking about the flood, "This Forerunners built this instalation to study and contain the Flood. Their survival as a race (the Forerunners) depended on it." This lead me through a train of thought which eventually ended with, what if the flood was created to help the Forerunners achive immortality and it turned into an experiment gone terribly wrong? So they ended up trying to preserve them so future desendants of the Forerunner could try to complete it. And the Halos are there to do what they do if the experiment should ever go wrong again.

Good Idea...
but you also led me to an Idea...

Maybe the Flood was the Forerunner's project to bringing living things back to life after death?

Or maybe the Flood was the Forerunner's project to somehow make AI into Real Intelligence, and put it in a body. Maybe this can lead to the Masterchief being a former AI, and now a RI... But this disagrees with the books so nevermind.
