Anyone who is willing to read alternate history agrees that it is possible. Each reader will react to what a writer has written in different ways. Some consequences of such alternate histories are more sure than others. However, what you seem to be taking issue with is "determinism" or simply "fate." The things that happen do so based on countless factors leading to certain inevitable conclusions - thus what actually happens. Whereas we have no proof that "quantum physics" is real, that theory allows for what is known as a "multiverse" where anything that can happen does happen somewhere, based on different decisions or "accidents" that come about. Reality, though, seems to indicate that things happen for a purpose, leading to an end that will pull it all together.
