Samuel Butler, a 19th-century English author and satirist, is perhaps best known for his novel "Erewhon" and his satirical works on Victorian society. One of his lesser-known works, "God cannot alter the past, though historians can," is a thought-provoking statement that raises questions about the nature of history, the role of God, and the limitations of human knowledge.
