If you're walking through a desert and you find a settlement, you don't just keep on walking because a guy from Knightrider (sorry...err...'John') says to.......
I think it's something that they wouldn't get away with if they put in a story told on 2004. But I guess that was 1978.......

Ernie, I always took it as John had given them the Galactica equivelent of the prime directive; that they were not to interfere in Terra's affairs any further than what they'd been asked to do, and that they were not to "help" them evolve their technology.
Also, the Hand of God at least came after the Terran arc and in that the Colonials found the Cylon Basestar and took it out. I believe another reason the colonials didn't stay is that they risked inviting the Cylons to a world not equiped to defend itself.
