I will remember that...
Has the Book of Mormon been translated into Caprican?
By the Lords of Kobol!

And besides that, I found some of it in the trunk of an old space shuttle, and it's reformed Klingon
I think they should have gone with the alternative universe theme. They totally messed up the conventional ST universe with their story line.

Can't find the translation...yet...found this:
What's this all this confusing religious stuff?
The religious themes on the show have become increasingly prominent over the past four seasons. The creator of the original "Battlestar Galactica," Glen Larson, was a devout Mormon, and both the original and the reimagined series are a retelling of the Book of Mormon.
In the Book of Mormon, the prophet Lehi manages to escape the destruction of Jerusalem and guide a small group of survivors to America. It's also worth nothing that the name "Kobol" is a slight derivation of Kolob, the dwelling place of God in Mormonism, and the Quorum of Twelve, one of "Battlestar's" governing bodies, shares a name with a governing council of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The reimagined version of the show also incorporates a diversity of religious themes. The Cylons and humans have a different set of rather complicated religious beliefs. Like the Judeo-Christian faiths, their religions overlap at key junctures, and the series is filled with references to human religions ranging from the Norse ("Ragnar") to the Greek ("Pegasus") and Christian ("Cain").
The Cylons, unlike most humans on the show, are monotheistic and believe in "one true God." Humanity, in their view, has forsaken God and, thus, sinned. So God directed humanity to create the Cylons. In order to please their God, the Cylons then murdered their creators. (To complicate matters, during the first half of the fourth season, Baltar becomes the leader in a monotheistic cult -- though it is unclear how closely his beliefs overlap with those of the Cylons.)
Most humans are polytheistic (with a number of gods seemingly derived from, or connected to, Greek and Roman mythology). In the universe of the series, the Lords of Kobol existed on the planet Kobol, together with human subjects. When a "jealous god" wanted to be promoted above the others, this led to the dispersal of humans across space and the founding of the Twelve Colonies.
When I was a kid, I loved the show. Particularly the earlier episodes (It got progressively more bizarre). Recently, I started thinking about the show again, and thought it was pretty wierd. (I also tried to watch the new “reimagining”, but it is absolutely unbearably bad.)
Then I found out that Larsen was a Mormon, and I realized that the show was based entirely on Mormon theology.
Someone with photoshop MUST come up with a picture of a Klingon in a white shirt, black pants, backpack and nametag...
There were a few canon issues with the show but not that much. In fact, I would say they cleared up a lot more then they distorted.
Yes they screwed up the portrayl of Vuclans but Manny cleaned that up very nicely with the ‘Kirshara’ arc.
No but it is easier to UNDERSTAND in klingon.
LOLOLOL
Out freakin standing!
This Klingon translation is one I've never seen before. LOL. Some one has a lot of time on their hands. Eventually some Tolkein fan will translate the BoM to Elvish.
< Takes a bow >
I didn't do the translating....;)
Cha Worf Toh'gah-nah lo Pre'tOk
Babelfish?
Mormonism was invented by a Fiction writer.
How do you know if they have been "translated correctly"?
