History shows that truth is not eternal

Craig replied:
I don't think history has shown any such thing. To take one of a myriad of examples:  Has history shown that it is not an eternal truth that World War I preceded World War II?


dmb says:

Where was that chronological factoid before the wars were fought? Waiting throughout eternity to be discovered in the unfolding of history? Of course not. Did "one" come before "two" even before humans evolved and math was invented? Of course not.
No offense, Craig, but your objection is both trivial and wrong. I'd even say it's petty and stupid.
Or is this just a joke that I'm not getting?
