Okay so here's my theory...
Is it possible that some of the events that have taken place in the past and future as we understand it are supposed to take place no matter the circumstances surrounding it? For example in Back to the Future, at the beginning, Marty lives with his parents and siblings, but his dad is a weiner and Biff is the bad guy from their childhood. Then Marty goes to the past and messes everything up.
Marty accidentaly meets his mom and dad and almost causes them to not meet, go to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, kiss, get married, and make babies. However, he helps his dad get the courage to stand up to Biff and ask his mom to the dance. Just as Marty's hand starts to disapear during a solo on stage, they kiss and everything starts to come back again. THEN, Marty goes back to the future and not only is everything back the way it was, but Marty has an awesome car, his dad grows a pair, and Biff is their cleaning lady. So, all this to say, is it possible that there are somethings that are "just meant to be?"
In the case of Chang's hand. Is it possible that him loosing his hand could serve another purpose other than one that we already knew? Maybe in some way, the hand means more than we even understood previously, in the future (read again for clarity)? Like Marty's parents kissing? Is it possible that everything could be different and still the same? What would be the same and what would be different?

This brings up a good point, and that point is that I still don't understand Lost's rules of time travel vs. everyone else's rules. I still don't quite understand what Faraday meant when he said they're the variables. Does that mean large scale events that effect the earth as a whole will always have the same outcome, no matter the events leading up to it? He seemed to think they couldn't effect anything, but then changed his mind at the end… I'm so confused still. BTTF seemed to be more simple to me (albeit obviously flawed)… you can go back in time, change stuff and better your present. Of course, if what you did altered your present, then it would alter whatever drove you to go back in time in the first place, very paradoxical. Y'know, all this to say, it's becoming very apparent that we can't really travel through time, it's wildly confusing.
