I tried to explain that but his come back was that I only believe in 10-dimensions, which I never stated anywhere, when I specifically referred to multiple if not infinite time lines.

You can not get the egg before the chicken.

The only way his comments work is if the entire timeline is a closed loop cycle with a separate force or control that has already predetermined all events no matter what point on the timeline you exist. That would mean there is no such thing as free will and makes all the actions in the movie pointless.
