Look, I don't want to rain on your parade, but I also kind of do.

There is no connection between high IQ and the skills it takes to determine whether (i) general theism is true and (ii) a particular religion is true. So, there's no connection between the likelihood that God exists (or that a particular religion is true) and the beliefs of an exceptionally high-IQ individual. If he doesn't recognize this, then it is evidence for the claim.

There are plenty of people with very high IQ who believe things without justification. The whole thing about humans being value-sensitive really adds to the confusion. There's no evidence that being able to solve IQ test problems better than other people solves our basic existential problems or makes us less prone to seeing the world in a way that helps us cope.

The value of this for Christians is really just social. "We've got a smarty on our side." It looks good for your team given that the debate over God's existence is so undecided. But if you really think about it, that's more evidence against God's existence. If there is a free, all-powerful, all-loving being in control, we should expect having a high-IQ person on your side to be pretty meaningless, since it wouldn't take a genius to know that God exists -- that is, our knowing about the existence of an all-loving God shouldn't be that kind of problem.

If Christians are celebrating having a genius on their team for the reason that this is supposed to be legitimizing, it's actually not a good look. Not that I expect anybody to see it that way. When I'm in love with another person, I don't need an expert opinion to increase my confidence that the other person exists. Part of what it means for them to love me presupposes they solve that problem for me, i.e., because of what their loving me entails, I couldn't be convinced they don't exist.

Now, if he is putting that high-powered brain to work in order to come up with a convincing reason to believe that God exists, that's a different story. I'm all ears. But announcing your belief in Christianity as if your IQ is supposed to independently make that announcement a big deal is astoundingly pompous.

Sweet. Nice.

Now show me what he thinks about israel

Any IQ over about 190 is basically immeasurable. EDIT: He does NOT have an IQ of 276. That’s bullshit.

That genius rancher Chris Langan believes in God as well.

Truth is, Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, Korea is the second largest congregation on earth. For a Korean to be a Christian is a no-brainer.

Funnier still, the actual largest congregation is the Deeper Life Bible Church in Lagos, Nigeria. Both being Pentecostal.

Even funnier than all that, the top 5 list of megachurches doesn't include anything in the USA. #3 is in India, #4 in Indonesia, and #5 is in the Philippines.

USA! USA! USA!

So, argument from authority? That's very christian.

Tayk dat fahking roundye!

A scientist with high IQ proves IQ isn't the sole determining factor of true intelligence!

OP also proves his ignorance of what IQ is and how it works!

IQ is your adaptability, that's pretty much it. "How fast you learn" is a dumbed down way of saying "Your brain adapts to new concepts and ideas faster and more easily than others on average.

You can still adapt to foolish ideas and concepts. You need high scores in most of the 9 intelligence measurements to actually be what OP thinks just your IQ means.

Has announced versus believes. Maybe you have to be high-IQ to not believe everything people say?

He can barely speak coherently, it's obviously a fake score mate. He's so dumb he didn't even make it a realistic score.

If christians had a “100 years war” against other christians, they should have a 300 year war against the jew.

That way… you can still have a 200 year long war against a future foe and everybody can still save face because it’s not the same length as the 3 century jew war.

Asians like saving face. Are you A/B testing asians? See if your asians want to fight in 300 years.

Too bad he’s got a 1” penis

No matter how intelligent a human is, they can still fall for jewish trickery.

Jesus was a jew, anyone who believes any part of the bible is simply a christcuck. You will never be free from jewery until you are willing to reject judaism in all its forms. That includes islam.
