Unlike other mathematical breakthroughs, this claimed proof of 1993 has facilitated little, if any, insights or simplifications since then.  Asking in recent years about the reliance by this proof on the disfavored [[Axiom of Choice]] has even resulted in [[censorship]] by some.<ref>https://meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/1336/why-was-this-question-about-axiom-of-choice-and-the-wiless-proof-of-flt-deleted</ref>

==Transcendental Proof of a Finite Intellect?==

===Transcendental Proof of a Finite Intellect?===

A devout Catholic, Fermat held a judicial office within the [[Roman Catholic Church|Church]], and served as ''parlementaire'' in Toulouse. He was certainly acquainted with the writings of [[St. Thomas Aquinas]] and the evidence of his penetrating intellect. It is entirely possible that the perceived ''impossibility'' of a proof of the theorem Fermat proposed was ''in itself'' a clear demonstration of the realization of the possibility that what is famously called "Fermat's Last Theorem" was ''in itself'' a transcendental proof of the limitations of human intellect and of the limitations of mathematical and scientific methods in the presence of the wisdom and intelligence of the one transcendent [[God]] comprehending of all things subsumed under the Omniscient and Omnipotent Divine Rule. It is indirectly a "remarkable proof" that man is not infinitely capable ultimately of finally understanding all things, and is not God. Like the [[Christian mysteries]], Fermat's Last Theorem is above the intellect, but not opposed to it.<ref>See the following:
