The problem is most people get their view on time/space from watching sci-fi films. Dimensions don't work like in films where monsters come along from "another dimension".
I'm fairly certain, as has already been said, that no one understands time well enough to actually state something is timeless.
On the WLC thing I actually googled what he had to say on these matters. As has been pointed out philosophising on this kind of stuff is pretty pointless.
Philosophy wouldn't have been able to show General relativity is "correct" for example, which has greatly advanced our understanding of both time and space. I'm not saying philosophy is useless, as it can be used as a tool in order to come up with a hypothesis, but then it can't progress further than that without actually testing the hypothesis.
What observations would one expect from the A theory of time, and how would the differ from the B theory of time? If we can't even get past this stage, it is pointless going further. Until scientists find the answers to these questions then then the answer is "we don't know", and you shouldn't start making up statements like "timeless"
I do find it really concerning that Theists can't just say "we don't really know about that aspect of God" which would at least be truthful. If I don't know something hopefully i will admit that fact, not just make something up because it sounds good.
