Was it a small group of humanoids that came from another star system composed of 12 colonies after being pursued by a society of artificial lifeforms that was bent on their extermination?

The real question is: was Kara Thrace, at any point, actually real?

  Ignore the last episode and the show is much saner.

  Of course she was real. She had a mother, history and upbringing. Now as to whether the post-death Thrace ( "the second coming" ) was the "spirit/angel" of Thrace or an altogether different entity separate from Thrace ( like physical Gaius and the "spiritual/angelic/head" Gaius you see at the end of the series ) that's up for debate. Her destiny ( teased throughout the series ) was to sacrifice herself to lead humanity to salvation ( earth ). It's similar to Christ in a way - self-sacrifice and the second coming to lead the faithful to the kingdom of god.

    I've watched through BSG I think 3 times over the years, and I've come to the conclusion that I don't think she was strictly human, in the normal sense. I think from day one of her existence, she was a kind of power on the same level as Baltar and Six's angelic alter egos. Watching it the first time when it originally aired, I had thought she was one of the Five (even though part of me thought that was too obvious, and a cop out)... and then the fifth member was revealed and it wasn't her. Clearly the writers had given her a role beyond merely human or Cylon, something part of the grand scheme of God that Messenger/Head Baltar and Six were part of.

No. It had something do with dinosaurs and volcanoes.

All of this has happened before (probably)

Although perhaps the very first life on Earth came across extraterrestrial life from a meteor and they interbred?

My first thought was this book series that speculated on time-traveling humans interbreeding with aliens with a take on the mythology of elves and dwarves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saga_of_Pliocene_Exile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saga_of_Pliocene_Exile
