Dr. YoungHoon Kim, the man officially recognized as having the world’s highest IQ, has sparked global conversation after publicly declaring his belief in Jesus Christ.
In a recent post shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) page, the South Korean genius made a bold and personal statement about his faith. He wrote:
“As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.”
This declaration quickly gained traction across social media, with many praising his openness about faith, especially in a world where science and religion are often seen at odds.
As of 2024, Dr. YoungHoon Kim was awarded the world record for “The World’s Highest IQ Person Now,” with a verified IQ score of 276, according to the Official World Record organization. His cognitive abilities have positioned him as a globally respected thinker, scientist, and innovator.
However, beyond the numbers and accolades, Kim’s recent post highlights a different kind of belief, one rooted not in logic or test scores, but in faith.

Reactions have trailed this …
@AdamBDeen said: “As a Muslim, I am a believer of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, Son of Mary, as a Prophet of God. As was Abraham, Moses & Noah before him. Peace be upon them all.
Please reference a verse in any version of the Bible where Jesus clearly and undisputedly referred to himself as “God”.
Please note that I am only interested in seeking a respectful dialogue and do not have any other ulterior motives.”

He owes me nothing, but I owe him everything .”
@ZenKen99 wrote: “So what does this say about your IQ? Jesus said he was not “God” but that you could go to “God”yourself if you go within. He said “God” is a power and that power was within everyone. This translates the same in many religions. These are just names for the power to overcome with what “God” gave us.”
