I am sure in the many hours you've spent contemplating this theory that you've found holes in your logic or some things that didnt quite connect. As i read through your post, I was hoping you would provide a section dedicated to these thoughts but it never came. Maybe you can offer up those holes and we can use them to rip your ideas assunder or help you patch them up.
I can hardly address these things if you are not more specific. All you really did was attempt to disparage me; we call that ad hominem. It's not a crime, and I'm not insulted, but it is a logical fallacy.
Like I said, I just came up with this over the weekend. Pretty sure about the gist: that Gawyn will get the medallion and thereby kill Rand. Some details are clear; some not so much. But the support for the gist is there.

I didnt say there were flaws in your logic. You /must/ admit the possibility of flaws in your logic though... unless you are in denial or are superhuman.
1 - Foreshadowing can only be used as evidence "after the fact". Sure - some foreshadowing is blatantly obvious. Others not. You dont know for sure until the foreshadow is proven as such. You are relying on a lot of foreshadowing to get from point A to B. Then B to F. Then F to M. Then M to Z. Foreshadows that havent been proven as foreshadows yet.
2 - A lot of characters from the books are based of off familiar ledgends, myths or religious ideas. The "silver" assumption though... you lay it out as fact that this idea parallels Jesus and Judas. This argument is like saying "A peach is a fruit. Therefore a cookie is an animal." Well, not quite that durastic but this is also a falacy of logic.
I was simply stating that I am not on board but would like to see a list, if you're keeping one, of the "some details that are not so clear" that you mentioned above.

He, Beslan being Berelain's man in white was a most brilliant theory!

Just because it makes more sense to you doesn't make it more likely. I have evidence!
