You don't know how time works and can't definitively say that. As far as we know, timelines might be created and destroyed constantly and all the time, or it may be a rare event caused by the interaction of powerful forces at the cosmic level, it could be somewhere in between those two extremes. It's possible that this is the only timeline and universe to exist, period. You don't know and you can't just assert that you do.
