Its not like "God" came out of nowhere on BSG. A lot of the series and ALL of Caprica were about poly- vs. mono- theism. A "God did it" ending is what the series was always leading up to, we were just too dense to realize it.

Characters discussing theology and talking about their beliefs is a long ways off from a "A wizard God did it!" conclusion. I don't think that makes us dense nor does it make the ending any better or confirm that a "God did it" ending was in store for us all along. Caprica came after BSG, so I can easily see them following that theme now that it has been established.

I think we simply have a trend of writers digging holes way to deep in the interest of intrigue and mystery, then when it comes time to explain these mysteries they have to scratch their heads for a bit while they come up with the sturdiest ladder they can think up to allow themselves to climb out and make a quick get away.
