Metaphysically you could be right, but that's not how I read what 
happened there.  In my understanding, the fundamentalists in the writers' 
universe just wrote a story that said "and everybody and everything died 
horribly".  The wording was probably even similar to that, which is why 
Cannon Fodder could come back (dying horribly wasn't new to him).
