- What you might have in mind is Robert K. Meyer's "God Exists!", published
- in the American philosophical journal "Nous" around 1980. It uses Zorn's
- lemma in a version of Aquinas's "first cause" argument. Meyer is a serious
- and reputable (if idiosyncratic) logician, and a Christian; the paper isn't
- a leg-pull like the Ian Stewart item mentioned here before.
