The man with the world’s highest IQ has proclaimed that “Jesus Christ is God,” building on his previous contention that belief in the afterlife is consistent with science.
Dr. YoungHoon Kim, who holds an IQ of 276, declared on social media, “As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.” The statement has been viewed more than 15 million times.
In a March 18 post, Kim wrote, “One of the best things I have ever done in my life is earning a BA degree in Christian Theology (nondenominational) from Yonsei University, # 1 private university in Asia.” He referred to theology as “the ultimate discipline of all fields of study.”
Kim previously suggested in a video published earlier this year that a belief in the afterlife and a belief in science are not incompatible. “I think our consciousness continues beyond death,” he said. “Our consciousness is not just brain activity, but it is something deeper.”
“Quantum physics says that information never disappears. Never. It only changes in form. If our consciousness is quantum information, it may continue after the body is gone,” he added. “For example, like computer data is stored in the cloud, our consciousness may not be trapped in the brain.
Quantum entanglement suggests that our consciousness is part of a bigger system beyond the physical world. If reality is part of something bigger, then death is not the end, but it is a transition, a shift to another reality.”
“Science is growing now, and we are learning more about consciousness and reality. Our death is not destruction, but change and shift. Humanity will keep searching for the truth about what comes after.”
