In an age where cultural elites often use intellect to cast doubt on faith, one of the brightest minds on Earth just did the opposite. Dr. YoungHoon Kim, a South Korean polymath and president of the United Sigma Intelligence Association (USIA), shocked many on Wednesday with a simple but profound statement: “As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.”
That’s not a theologian speaking. That’s the man recognized globally for having an IQ estimated at 276—the highest officially recorded in history. His credentials? Verified by the Official World Record®, World Memory Championships, and the World Memory Sports Council, in partnership with Guinness World Records. Add to that recognition from Mensa, the GIGA Society, Olympiq Society, and a who’s who of intelligence organizations. This isn’t self-promotion. It’s real-world validation.
And it’s shaking up the “faith versus reason” narrative in a big way.
Dr. Kim, who’s been profiled by CNN, The Economist, Reader’s Digest, and even Us Weekly, has spent his life mastering everything from quantum physics to cognitive science. Yet, for all his unmatched intellect, Kim isn’t putting his faith in humanity, politics, or artificial intelligence. He’s putting it in Christ.
Even more stunning? He’s not doing it blindly. He’s connecting his belief in Jesus and the afterlife with the latest discoveries in quantum physics. “Our consciousness is not just brain activity,” he said in a recent statement. “It is something deeper… Quantum physics says that information never disappears—it only changes in form.”
NEW: The man with the world's highest recorded IQ says he believes Jesus Christ is God and is "the way and the truth and the life."

Kim likened consciousness to data stored in the cloud, suggesting our minds may be part of a larger system beyond the physical world—a higher dimension that transcends death. “If reality is part of something bigger, then death is not the end—but a transition,” he said.
It’s not just philosophical musing. It’s a high-IQ analysis of metaphysics, backed by science, personal conviction, and yes—Scripture.
In a world that says faith is for the simple-minded, Dr. YoungHoon Kim is proof that the highest intelligence doesn’t lead away from God—it leads directly to Him. And he made it perfectly clear: Christ is King.
