1. When the humans create life through technology they are wrong, but when this "God" figure creates life it's divine? God's life is just as flawed as the life that human create.
2. In the end Lee's solution to abandon technology changes nothing. It simply delays what the show wants us to view as the inevitable. Better to keep the technology and address the self destructive nature of humans.
3. More practically the fleet's abandonment of technology is only going to lead to their quick deaths. The environment, disease, hostile natives, and food shortages are just a few of the very real obstacles that the fleet's survivors are sure to face. Like early English settlers in Virginia, they are almost completely unprepared for their new environment.
4. What about the natives? The survivors are sure to bring several very deadly, hyper-evolved diseases with them. Any natives who come in contact with them are sure to contract these diseases and die. So much for spreading language and culture.
5. I find the total acceptance of Lee's idea a bit preposterous. The show tries to explain it away, but I still think a rogue element would find abandoning everything humanity has accomplished absolutely foolish.
6. Why in the hell is everyone separating? These people have fought and died for each other for the last four years(about right?) and now they just take off never to see one another again, it's absurd.
