Of course, they have the offensive and most of the ground, so it's easier for them to do so. Even so, the human race in BSG is in real danger of extinction, especially when you consider how small 47,000 is compared the billions that must have been living on the planets.
The question of how many Cylons is an intrigueing one. If they really don't have that much more in terms of numbers, that could esplain their need to "be fruitful and multiply" However, they could presumbably make a lot more of the machine versions - but they want human model babies. And more than that, they want them to be half human. Which raises interesting questions - could these childrem really be called machines if they are born from human or carry half a true human's DNA? ("Our child will be half a toaster," said Six to Baltar). What's the line?
