My BSG Theory: They are all Cylons (This has all Happened Before)

As I count down the hours to the series finale of Battlestar Galactica, I am obessesed with figuring out the finale of this remarkable television achievement. After watching all the previous episodes, I want to pose the theory that there are no humans in the sense that we know it. Both the “human” and “cylon” races originated  on Kobol. The first war on Kobol sent the”humans”  to the twelve colonies, while the cylons fled to Earth. Both the cylon earthlings and the human colonists experienced the devastating effects of a war against the mechanical cylons. One of the main themes repeated by the colonial oracles, the colonial scriptures and Leeoben Conroy is that this has all happened before and will happen again. The Cylons on Earth had given up reproductive technology and were reproducing naturally. Caprica 6 and Athena Agathon were able to conceive. It is clear that Starbuck is some kind of hybrid. I think that the people who inhabit the world of Batllestar Galactica are both of human and cylon in nature destined to bring war upon each other until they can reconcile  the two sides of their nature. Of course I could be dead wrong! I will find out how close I got in a few hours.
