Ok.. 80 or so of "the wrong people" from Destiny land on an earth type planet with nothing but the clothes on their backs, in 10 years they've built a village, in 50 years they've made a town, in 500 years they've created cities and industry and after 2000 years have created and advanced society that can build massive space ships that can lift off of the ground..
but in Battlestar Galactica 30,000 people land on an earth type planet that already is populated by some nomadic human tribes, while yes they get rid off all of their larger spacecraft, they still have Raptors, Vipers and shuttles plus all the other equipment they initially landed with. They also spread out over to different continents, and still have a way to keep in contact, yet 150,000 years later, they're only at our level of technology
you would have thought that 30,000 people + 150,000 years + advanced technology from the beginning would have developed into a huge space faring society much like Star Trek's Federation after only a 500-1000 years, but 80 or so of "the wrong people" from a much less advanced society with nothing but the clothes on their back were able to create a far more advanced society in less than 2000 years.
wonder which one is more likely?
