Christopher Langan has an IQ of about 200 . He has written so many impressive works , one of which is the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) which "explains the connection between mind and reality, therefore the presence of cognition and universe in the same phrase". He calls his proposal "a true 'Theory of Everything', a cross between John Archibald Wheeler's 'Participatory Universe' and Stephen Hawking's 'Imaginary Time' theory of cosmology."


In conjunction with his ideas, Langan has claimed:


"You can prove the existence of God, the soul and an afterlife, using mathematics."

Asked about creationism, Langan has said:


"I believe in the theory of evolution, but I believe as well in the allegorical truth of creation theory. In other words, I believe that evolution, including the principle of natural selection, is one of the tools used by God to create mankind. Mankind is then a participant in the creation of the universe itself, so that we have a closed loop. I believe that there is a level on which science and religious metaphor are mutually compatible."

Isaac Newton , Father of Modern Physics and Christian theologian , had an IQ of 190 . THere are other smart Christians with high IQs . In fact , out of 10 highest IQs on earth, at least 8 are theists' and at least 6 are Christians'

He is the smartest amongst all of us and is still a staunch Christian.

He is also smarter than every atheist in the world

Are you saying he is the smartest/most intelligent person in the world?

Was Jesus a creationist or an evolutionist? The guy is smart enough to discard the mythology of the bible and embrace his own scientific mythology. He mixed the two up. He claimed without providing any evidence that


"You can prove the existence of God, the soul and an afterlife, using mathematics."


He should do that already and win a Nobel Peace prize na.

It's easy to make baseless claims na. Proving them is always the problem.

Kingebukasblog has started with his fallacious arguments again.

IQ is one measure amongst many measures of intelligence.

There are people with high IQ that lack emotional intelligence. They can't relate with others.



Furthermore, mathematics cannot prove the existence of anything in the physical world. Numbers themselves do not exist. For this 'smart' Christian to claim that mathematics can prove God, he must be on some good weed.

Many smart Christians today see the creation story as an allegory and embrace evolution or they embrace special creationism which is the hybridization of creationism and evolution.

This is the 1 474 574th time we are having this same discussion. Sir, ain't you tired of repeating the same things over and over again ?

Have you read his work -the CTMU - before trying to criticise simply because he is a Christian ?

See how desperately you are trying to undermine the IQ simply because many theists and Christians have the highest IQs

IQ measures how logically you can think mostly , one's problem solving abilities and these people are on the high side . If it upsets you , you can go and hug transformer. smiley

I'm pretty sure he has at least 3 times your IQ and someone as smart as Chris Langan does know what he is talking about .

I haven't seen his argument or work on it but I think it would be based on the applicability of mathematics in a physical world : Since numbers, mathematical objects are mind-dependent and mathematics is the language of nature then it would only point to the existence of an ultimate mind

@Kingebukasblog,
What standard deviation was used to gauge his IQ? Because I know with standard deviation of 15 IQ of 195 does not exist as it is greater than 1 in 8 billion.
Also most IQ tests stop measuring at 4 standard deviations from the mean(i.e 160@SD15, 164@SD16, and 196@SD24). That's about 1 in 30000 which is no where near the highest possible IQ@ 1 in 7.4 billion.
So tell us what tests where used to gauge his IQ; are they valid?

Hello Ebuka, your title is misleading!!

I watched the entire clip and NOWHERE was it mentioned that he's a 'Christian'.

If there is, please draw my attention to it.
At best, he's a kind of theist. He never mentioned or stated a firm belief in Jesus Christ as lord and personal savior; how do you conclude that he's a Christian?

I don't know how his IQ measured . But he had a perfect sat score , taught himself all he knew(he was way smarter than his professors ) , few people in the world understand his theory ,the CTMU , and he has so many profound ideas about life and the universe that can challenge your view about them . Do you need more info to understand how incredibly intelligent he is ?

Hundreds of people get perfect SAT scores every year. Summing the numbers of testees for 30+ years would be well over 10000. In a population of 350 million, that's about 1 in 35000. Again, not too impressive.
What's your evidence that he was smarter than his professors, because he said so?

Please, stop attacking me. Ad hominems will not cover the fallacious arguments it forward by both the op and the 'smart' Christian.

Mathematics cannot prove the existence of anything. Only a deluded fellow can believe that a non existent concept can prove existence.

He has a verified IQ of 195 but the organizers of the test believe that it is way higher than that . He also took the world's most difficult IQ test and has been described as the smartest man in America and possibly the smartest man in the world .

He also worked on the 'P versus NP problem' (an unsolved problem in computer science ) and thinks he can prove that P does not equal NP.

He learnt all he knows by himself .

Dude, I am challenging your claims that he has an IQ of 195 and that he was smarter than his professors, and you are still here telling me that he has an IQ of 195 bla bla bla.
Show us evidence that he has an IQ of 190+, what valid test(s) he took, and what standard deviation was used.

Religious bull sh.it. there are many people of other religions or no religion who have high IQs.

This topic is further evidence that Religion is a divider not a uniter.

Please point me to the prominent Nigerian Christians who have an IQ is 100 as a minimum - grin
