I was reading the sciam special issue on time from two years ago, and there the physics professor talked about how the 'present' is an illusion, and the relativity of simultaneity.
But another intriguing argument I read about later, the andromeda paradox goes even further.

So how does it stand?
I've read a counter-argument from 2001 and a counter-argument to the counter-argument that's from 2005 from the wiki links, I've also read another argument in favor of block universe from elsewhere.
Here's the most recent counter-argument link provided in the wiki:

Einstein's special theory demonstrates that there are occasions when there is no "correct" answer, where no observer has a privileged status, and all the observers can claim to be "correct" even if their ordering of events disagree with each other.
