### Posthuman God

Within meta evolutionary biology, it is a modernized term for an entity whose physical and mental characteristics transcend mankind’s parameters to the point of appearing god-like by natural standards.

It is derived from the idea that parahumans may grow powerful enough to closely resemble depictions of a higher power, or possess intelligence and sophisticated technology so great that their behavior becomes incomprehensible to present-day humans.

### Posthuman Overgod

On the more speculative side of the Posthuman God theory, a controversial term was coined by those who pondered the possibility of these godlike parahumans conceptualizing and even worshipping an entity in the same way modern humans have; this “god amongst gods” would essentially supersede *our* image of God, existing as a more refined version that is almost, if not completely, free of flaws.

However, there have been grounded interpretations of this being, such as the idea that they would simply act as the spearhead of parahuman advancements or occupy a leading position akin to contemporary rulers.

### Posthuman Devil
