| − | Slugs vary in size but range from 1 inch in length to 2 ft (several recent discoveries of Amazon species have reportedly been as large as 2ft - Rosebotham. M (2008) - slugs of the rain forest), slugs have antlers or "antenna" which are their sensory organs, but are essentially blind, and non-sentient beings, incapable of any intelligent thought or reasoning. Slugs range in color from being white to illumines, which has lead to scientific research for the possible usages of this to be applied in animal farming of beef. | + | Slugs vary in size but range from 1 inch in length to 2 ft (several recent discoveries of Amazon species have reportedly been as large as 2ft <ref>Rosebotham.

| | According to the origins theory model used by young earth creation scientists, modern slugs are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern Slug that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood. It has not yet been determined by baraminologists whether slugs form a holobaramin or if all these species are in fact apobaraminic or polybaraminic. | | According to the origins theory model used by young earth creation scientists, modern slugs are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern Slug that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood.

| − | After the Flood, these two slugs bred from the Ark passengers migrated across the global and into the sea. There is debate whether this migration happened over land with lower sea levels during the post-flood ice age, or before the supercontinent of Pangea broke apart The idea that God simply generated slugs into existence there is considered by most creation researchers to be contra-Biblical. | + | After the Flood, these two slugs bred from the Ark passengers migrated across the global and into the sea.
