there's certainly an edge of fatalism, isn't there? Especially among the most religious.
And I would guess that studying history (if it's as important as I theorize) is done in the guise of understanding what will happen, perhaps in an effort to change it or guide it to a different outcome. I doubt many believe everything will be exactly the same, because then there'd be no point in anything.
And of course they may be some truth in it. If the Lords of Kobol were some kind of time-traveling advanced race then it's entirely possible they had future knowledge and brought that back to the twelve tribes.
