"Traditional Mormonism teaches that there is a plurality of Gods and that God formed the world out of eternally preexisting matter (rather than create ex nihilo); humans are uncreated and eternal in their most basic part, of the same species of being as God, and have the potential to become what God is; Jesus is fully divine and fully human, but only because the only distinction between deity and humanity is one of degree, not kind; and God is said to literally be an exalted man."
