We are all part cylon then.
Also, how come caprica six and baltar were alive 150,000 years later ?

The pair seen in New York at the end were the ones we were always led to believe were hallucinations - Baltar's visions of Caprica Six were a recurring theme through the entire series (although less so in the last season) while Caprica Six's visions of Baltar were only seen on screen once or twice.
Right at the very end, when Baltar and Six are tooled up and preparing to face a Cylon boarding party, for the first time both visions appear to both of them simultaneously. That, coupled with other things the visions said during the final episode, begins to reveal to us that all along they were 'angels' sent from 'god' to guide/manipulate the entire situation.
Essentially we're being told that Baltar and Six were god's instruments throughout the entire story, from the destruction of the colonies to the population of Earth, and that this god (although "you know it doesn't like being called that!") continues to take an interest in Earth up to the present day, hence the continued presence of two of his/its agents/angels ... shown to us in the forms of Baltar and Six because we needed to understand who they were immediately, without explanation, in the last few seconds of the story.
