I believe (and I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong) that in an earlier version of BSG, they landed in Ancient Egypt. Ruins in the Egyptian style were used as the ruins of Kobol in the original series. Ignoring the incredibly crappy sequel series (Galactica 1980), we know that they were still in space heading towards Earth after the Apollo moon landings, because in what I think was the last episode of the original series, they picked up the Apollo landing signals from the Moon.
The First Cylon War is a real interesting point, but I think it just wedges in, mostly because the First Cylon War was 40 years ago when the miniseries started. So now that'd be, what, 42+ years ago? But we have canon on-show assertion that the other five models are somehow different, so we don't know what rules apply.
If I'm right about my Grand Unification Theory of Battlestar Galactica, then I don't think we have to worry about it only being 2007 c.e. on Earth. I think we'd be looking at something a lot closer to, hum, 8000-10000 c.e. But that's kind of a guess.
