Pierz, Liz and Frequent Flyer,
Jeez, you guys, this seems to be becoming a matter of sacred
religious dogma to you and someone who doesn't agree deserves to
burned at the stake! Lighten up guys and take a deep breath, they're
just theories!
:-)
I would suggest you to try to formalize your theory in first order
logic language, or to represent it in some well known first order
theory (like arithmetic or set theory). That would help us, and
everybody. We would "see" where is the theory.

Agreed, Liz. His bizarre misunderstandings about block time (it
violates conservation of energy) and sundry other statements
exhibiting poor comprehension of modern physics reveal him to be
exactly what you suspected early on: a crackpot. The question he put
to you in which he asked if you ceased to exist at one point on his
timeline reveals his basic error of logic. Everything must exist
simultaneously with me, therefore there is a universal common
present moment. Obviously that does not necessarily follow but Mr
Owen has invested so much in his idea (he's written a book - self-
published one might assume) that he is incapable of seriously
questioning it any more. I guess there are two routes to genius:
have a brilliant, revolutionary idea and convince the world, or have
a wrong revolutionary idea and armour yourself so heavily against
reason that every rebuttal merely reinforces your own view that you
are a misunderstood visionary. Ad hominem. Mea culpa.
