And isn't Tyrol going to get awfully lonely out there on his island by himself? Personally I think walking off into the wilderness with just the clothes on your back after living in an advanced society pretty well spells extinction. Could you survive, say in the mountains, with just the clothes on your back?

Galactica 1980 is an abomination and doesn't count as the original series
The REAL original series started with the words, "life here began out there." The aliens didn't arrive in our present, they came in our past, and the original BSG has a slightly different take on it than new BSG, saying the aliens were responsible for the pyramids, etc. Kinda like Stargate :P
Adama went off to die, as did Tyrol. Adam said that without Laura life isn't worth living, and after such a stressful journey he was just done. He wanted to die in peace. Same with Tyrol. As for the rest of them, after running and living on spaceships for so long, they just wanted to actually live on a planet for once. And after everything that has happened, and don't really see anything wrong with people yearning for a simpler life.
The god stuff wasn't a cop out. Faith has been central to the show from the very beginning, and not all sci-fi has to answer everything with the "sci." Head Six said in the very beginning that she was a messenger from god. Turns out she wasn't lying, that's all.
