When we last saw Adama, he was toiling around with dirt on Earth. More specifically, he was measuring the amount of radiation on the ocean shore (which will probably put a big damper on that Colonial Fleet-wide beach party they were planning). But who's to say that Adama wasn't tricked ... by the final Cylon!
Why it works:
As we've stated before, Cylons are machines. If you're unawares, geiger counters are machines, too. And what have the Cylons wanted to do since day one? No, not blow up the 12 colonies (which they pretty much did). They wanted to find Earth (which is ironic since five of them have already been there -- why not just go there in the first place?). So now that they've found Earth, the ol' hidden Cylon makes his/her appearance and tells the humans that it's WAY too dangerous to stay there. Radiation kills humans dead. Not robots. Plus, we're familiar with the geiger counter -- it's been in the fleet since day one and they've probably sniffed out a few bombs with it here and there.
Why it doesn't work:
A gods damned geiger counter? Yeah, absolutely ridiculous. Those things have about as much personality as two Number Fours. Besides, we'd all have to learn an intricate series of clicks as its language, unless they translate what it says for us across the bottom as it speaks. No one is overly thrilled with that idea, though.
Odds that I'm right:
