You are assuming the time reference for Battlestar is current with the one we are in right now on Earth . . . .

The science fiction writer, in fact, could alter that.

The Battlestar crew might show up at an Earth that is 1000 years or 5000 years in advance of where we are right now. They might be the backward people instead.

Its an unknown element right now.
