The man officially recognized as having the world’s highest IQ—measured at 276—has publicly professed his Christian faith.
YoungHoon Kim declared on social media: “Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.”
Known for his groundbreaking work in neuroscience and artificial intelligence, Kim emphasized that his belief is grounded not only in faith but also in reason.
He wrote, “Christ is my logic,” and expressed a desire to use his platform to lead others to God.
Kim, who holds a theology degree from Yonsei University in Seoul, describes theology as “the ultimate discipline of all fields of study.”
In earlier reflections, he has argued that belief in life after death aligns with science, referencing quantum physics and theories of consciousness.
He said, “If reality is part of something bigger, then death is not the end, but a transition.”
Despite his status among the world’s scientific elite, Kim says science and faith work together in the pursuit of truth: “Our death is not destruction, but change and shift. Humanity will keep searching for the truth about what comes after.”
