Can a slug be God?

[Kingpin]

This is mainly aimed at theists, but everyone is welcome to chime in. I'm still totally lacking any coherent notion of what a god is.

Is it defined by its qualities? Or by its achievements? Its status? What?

Consider this scenario. A long time ago, all that existed was a slug. That's it, a slug. Nothing predates the slug.

Suddenly, the slug creates all of the rest of reality around it somehow. Maybe this was deliberate, maybe it did it by accident. Now it exists alongside everything else. Along with this creation came the rules regarding harm and death, which previously did not apply. The slug lives out its days, then dies. Fast forward several billion years, and we have the present day.

So my question is this: would this slug be a god? If not, why not, and what else would make it into one?

It's irrelevant how the slug did this, or if it's possible, since these are never considerations when gods are discussed.

I will bite.  

We get in to a slippery territory when we start debating definitions as definitions seem to evolve and at times be subjective.  

In the scenario you described I would define the slug as a Creator, not a God.  Why?  Because the slug died.  Death is a natural occurrence.  ALL biological entities are constrained by the limits of nature and will cease to exist.  "God" by definition is outside of natural law, space and time and would have no limits.  Limitations only make sense in a universe governed by demonstrable limits.  This concept is difficult to grasp since we are constrained by limits and have no way to apply personal experiences to such deistic qualities.

A "God" is really just an entity that is outside of and not limited by their creation.  They make the rules, they can manipulate as they choose to and the creation is bound to the limits set upon it.
