Ah, just keep in mind the ol' "All this has happened before..." theme. In the current instance of whatever theme plays over and over again, the cylons are machines created by humans who rebelled. In the previous cycle, the "humans" may have been something created by the "cylons" who rebelled. Each go 'round is similiar but different, and with the actors switching roles. And I suspect the human vs. cylon thing is but a subplot of some larger theme which repeats.
From spoilers and speculation, I suspect the Final Five are some sort of "link" to the last cycle.
