It has to happen because it already did. This principle is used in several Sci fi movies. Animorphs, Gargoyles, Timeline, and Kate and Leopold. Though the Terminator does it best. I personally think its more logical and probable then any past changing idea.
If this is how you feel, you really should read Michael Crichton's Timeline. From what I've heard, the way it's described in the book just blows away the movie. I've read the book and know that how he describes it all is really amazing. However, I haven't seen the movie so I can't make the comparison myself.
