    About this ebook

    Old Wine and New New Wine can kickstart your imagination into a profound new and true view of the intersection of science, philosophy, and supernatural religion.  At the end of the day—if you reach it—you will grasp the essential relation between our qualitative experience and science, see science in a new light, trade in your materialism for materiality, and have an uncanny knowledge of what happens at death.

      Old Wine and New New Wine - JBS Palmer

      Chapter 1 ~ Prelude to New Wine

      And in this sight, he shewed a little thing the quantity of a hazelnut, lying in the palm of my hand as it seemed to me, and it was as round as any ball. I looked therein with the eye of my understanding, and thought: ‘What may this be?’ And it was answered generally thus: ‘It is all that is made.’ I marveled how it might last, for it seemed to me it might suddenly have fallen into nought for its littleness. And I was answered in my understanding: ‘It lasteth and ever shall, because God loveth it. And so hath all things being by the love of God.’  Julian of Norwich, 14th century (Julian’s Gospel, Veronica Mary Rolf)

      1 ~ Wandering Darwinian 1950

      Flick!

      ...A wad of backyard mud

      arches up, up and away,

      propelled by my flicking stick.

      Splat!

      Was I ten?  ...maybe older or younger.

      ...Late 1940’s, Early 1950’s.

      The backyard no longer a playground.

      Flick!

      Another universe sails off,

      and in my mind I see its

      whole evolution,

      amoeba to civilization,

      it

      splats!

      It hits the slats

      behind the old Concord grape vine

      that graced

      the backyard’s boundary.

      Long ago I’d learned to suck the sweet

      and spit out its fruit’s seedy bitters.

      ––––––––

      Flick!

      ––––––––

      I might be in trouble if a universe sailed

      over the fence,

      And hit...

      ah, but did it matter

      on cold today,

      even if it winged a neighbor?

      ––––––––

      What mattered

      was when the wad splattered,

      then

      evolution was over for the wad beings,

      like it would be for us.

      ––––––––

      Splat!

      ––––––––

      Last act:  Cold War, hot and over?

      A new ice age would do the job, too.

      (Back then, who knew?)

      Flick!

      Splat!

      ....

      ––––––––

      The muddy patch under the bars

      on which my sisters

      were no longer swinging

      was all dug up

      by my universe-making flicks.

      ––––––––

      Evolution was over

      for those wad beings’ worlds.

      God had emerged,

      done his thing,

      and found his work wanting.

      ––––––––

      It was colder and darker.

      I trudged into the house

      steeled to face,

      heroically,

      the dreary world
