Let's break this down since apparently the people posting here can't comprehend the English language.
"changing the past merely creates a divergent timeline, a new universe with a different history than the one they remember"
The law states that changing the past creates a divergent timeline...Now what is a divergent timeline? The phrase after the comma answers that. A divergent timeline is a new universe with a different history than the one they remember.
Now there is another comma with the phrase "leaving the original timelined unchanged." What does this mean? Let's break it down again:
Divergent timeline= A new universe with a different history than the one they remembered.
Original timeline= original universe (which in this case is 616).
It states that the original timeline (which means the original universe which means the 616 universe) remains unchanged.
This irrefutably proves that unless one warps/changes/recreates/etc. the 616 during the present time (not during the past or the future), one cannot warp/change/recreate/etc. the 616 universe. [/B]
What you guys are forgetting to acknowledge is that the Fantastic Four issue is talking about creating divergent timelines via TIME TRAVELLING.
Its talking about time travelling back before the NOW(present) in an attempt to alter the future, therefore the events between the divergence point and the present of that divergent timeline, in comparison to that same period in the main timeline are going to be different.
So when it talks of a divergent timeline with a different history, its talking of a history different to the main timeline because the reality was created by travelling back BEFORE the present.
However by travelling along that divergent timeline back past the point of divergence, you will be back in 616 before the time traveller altered things 🙂
