That could be very true too. We just don't know enough about Caprica
or its moon to know. It would be unlikely that it would be exactly
the same size as ours, but then again in the end two completely
separate human species which started and evolved perhaps millions of
light years apart that look exactly alike and could hybridize so
anything is possible LOL (mind you I am one of the few who ISN'T
resentful of RDM putting a deity or deities into the BSG story with
Starbuck being an Angel. I saw it coming from the beginning LOL, and
I also read about RDM's personal spiritual wonderings [being a
Buddhist then a Jehovah's Witness and other things IIRC] over the
years so...).
