Someone is definitely manipulating the situation. So many people are having visions that lead them to this point. Roslyn with her visions of Earth and the temple. Starbuck with her visions of the comet signpost that lead to Earth. Diana with her visions of the final five every time she died and was resurrected. The writers have a lot to wrap up but so far I like your explanation.

Thanks!

Another thing to consider: we don't know the nature of the Cylon "god". Is it a supernatural entity (as we see God today), or is it a "real" (tangible sense) entity that was simply the creator of the Cylons ... and possibly the resurrection technology?

Think of a variation of V'ger from Star Trek The Motion Picture. V'ger's "god" wasn't the God of Abraham, Isaac and Moses ... but (in reality) NASA engineers.

Consider this possibility (and my thoughts on this are pretty much evolving as I type). The "original" copies Cylon Final Five were actually humans who used advanced technology to transfer their consciousness' into bio-mechanical (Cylon) replicas of themselves when the nuking took place. Starbuck's Viper crashes on Earth, but her consciousness is transferred into a biomechanical replica just like the Final Five. All that would be required is 1.) some sort of automated activation routine in the resurrection technology, 2.) Ellen being on/near "earth" and using the technology to save Starbuck 3.) the indeterminate-nature Cylon "god" using the technology to save Starbuck or 4.) some combination of one or more of the above. That would make the current Starbuck a Cylon, though.
