Many famous scientists believe in God, such as Albert Einstein, who proposed the theory of relativity. This may be because they believe that there is a sublime power ruling over all things in the universe. Recently, YoungHoon Kim, a Korean scientist with the highest IQ in history of 276, publicly stated that he believes Jesus is God and that God is one hundred percent real.
According to the National Catholic Register, 36-year-old YoungHoon Kim posted on social media platform X on June 18, saying, “As the record holder for the highest IQ in the world, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way, the truth, and the life.”
The post has attracted over 20 million views and received 290,000 likes. YoungHoon Kim later replied on June 19, saying, “I will take this opportunity to lead many souls to God.”
In February of this year, YoungHoon Kim also posted saying, “God is one hundred percent real.” He recently also stated, “Our consciousness is not just brain activity. It might be quantum information, something that continues even after death.”
YoungHoon Kim’s IQ of 276 is the highest ever recorded in history and has been certified by multiple organizations including the Giga Society, Mensa International, and the World Memory Championships.
YoungHoon Kim is the founder and CEO of NeuroStory, an organization dedicated to developing AI-based solutions for brain health, with support from the Korean government.
He also established the United Sigma Intelligence Association and serves as a board member of the Lifeboat Foundation, which promotes scientific progress while mitigating risks posed by technologies like AI.
According to the Korean Pioneer, YoungHoon Kim set the highest IQ record of 276 at the World Memory Championships last year, becoming the individual with the highest IQ ever certified by the World Mind Sports Council. Prior to that, the record holder was the Australian Chinese mathematician Terence Tao, with an IQ of 230.
YoungHoon Kim stated after the announcement, “I hope to use my talents for research in the future and help enhance the intelligence of people globally.”
The World Memory Championships is an international competition where pre-selected high IQ players compete for the title. Participants’ IQs are also comprehensively assessed.
YoungHoon Kim graduated from Yonsei University in Seoul and is the only member in Korea accepted by both the Mega Society and the Giga Society, which only accept members with exceptionally high IQs.
He said that the United Sigma Intelligence Association he founded is a nonprofit organization made up of over 100 intelligent individuals from around the world, including professors from top universities such as Harvard University, Yale University, and Princeton University.
