I'll quote his words instead so you can interpret it how you want:
"I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view."

I was disputing the premise that space is nothing. Between dark energy and dark matter, less than 1/20th of the observable universe is comprised of ordinary matter, so what we perceive as empty space isn't ^^ While not readily observable the effects of dark matter/energy
are.
I like my follow up thought on time though, which resolves the issue entirely ^^ And thinking about it, would suggest space
is curved along the function 1/t at any given Point.
