It's not speculative, because I posted an interview with Ronald D. Moore in post #999 where he explicitly says that they are two different Earths. The Earth shown at the end of season 3 - where North America was visible - was a teaser of things to come. The Earth they found midway through season 4 - where the land was covered by clouds - was the ORIGINAL Earth, but not OUR Earth. Finally, the Earth Starbuck brought them to - OUR Earth - in the finale, was the final realization of that tease we saw at the end of season 3. Two different Earths, same time.
Will: Jane Espensen has said in interviews that in the BSG universe, humanity originally evolved on Kobol. It doesn't seem the writers have given any thought to other iterations of the cycle. There doesn't need to be some alien or super-evolution answer to everything. As far as the BSG writers and creators are concerned, there's just a higher power. What it is will remain an unanswered question - in their minds and ours.
