All I'm saying is, I can't prove he's wrong.  |
That is a very interesting take on that episode. It's also the first rational explanation that puts the events of the Galactica near our own timeline. If you assume that is true it would also explain the later Terra Arc, in that the Galactica basically passed Earth and then went on to find other members of the 13th tribe who continued on past Earth and named the world they settled on "Terra", which after all is just another name for Earth anyway.
