True, shows like "Life after People" shows how that could happen. But
the thing is if we didn't dump the high tech we would had been much
more technically advanced by now and we would had remembered the 12
colonies and probably got back to them. Maybe having a war with the
Hostile Cylons (if they relearned resurrection technology or if the
breeding experiments with the humans they had were successful after
all) to retake them or if they died out without relearning
resurrection just walk in and reoccupy. The same with original Earth.
Ironically for those who like the old BSG and do not like the new
BSG's ending, the new BSG was being faithful to the old BSG's
original premise in part, that many of the cultural touchstones and
even bloodlines through the centuries that we thought was strictly
Earth actually were developed on other worlds. We are the echo of the
12 Colonies with their collective memories in out blood.
