Of course good and wise Aristotle would not have known about Jesus and Peter who "undone" what had benn done a few times, and hundreds of other "undones" over the years since.

And of course Aristotle could never have considered the affects of entering a worm hole.

Sometime a "sorry" and "asking forgiving" can undone a past thing.

Perhaps in translation from the Greek perhaps "can not" should be translated "will not".
If Aristotle was referring to the powerful entity called the human will and what it has done.
Then, yes, God will not undo the choices we determine to make nor the ensuing consequences those choices bring.
This answers the recurring questions: Why does (How can) a loving God allow sickness and pain and suffering?

Not that I care to get in an argument about this, but this is non sequitur. It would be a very hard point to prove that people choose to be born with congenital birth defects, get cancer, or be in a country ruled by a ruthless dictator.
Question authority, before it questions you. How do you know, that you know, what you know?

There are answers to those types of questions as to why people can have birth defects and being under the rule of a ruthless ruler. No, it not a result of a choice they've made. There is an answer, quite simple actually. But people don't really want to know it, because then they may have to make a choice. One they don't want to make.
