Mormonism teaches God is a resurrected man from another planet who attained Godhood. The bible teaches that God created the Universe and everything in it:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night He made the stars also

Well, look what I found. After all Jane's denials that it was NOT so. The LDS aim is for each to become just like a god and go on to create new or other world's and eternities over which "they shall rule as gods."
Here is from LDS official writings and teaching documents/books.
“To live in the highest part of the celestial kingdom is called exaltation or eternal life. To be able to live in this part of the celestial kingdom, people must have been married in the temple and must have kept the sacred promises they made in the temple. They will receive everything our Father in Heaven has and will become like Him. They will even be able to have spirit children and make new worlds for them to live on, and do all the things our Father in Heaven has done. People who are not married in the temple may live in other parts of the celestial kingdom, but they will not be exalted” (
Gospel Fundamentals [2001], 201).
“As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be” (Lorenzo Snow, often quoted, e.g.,
Presidents of the Church: Student Manual [2004], 88).
“Eternal life is to us the sum of pre-existence, present existence, and the continu¬ation of life in immortality, holding out to us the power of endless progression and increase. With that feeling and that assurance, we believe that ‘As man is, God once was, and as God is, man may become.’ [See Lorenzo Snow, ‘The Grand Destiny of Man,’
Deseret Evening News, July 20, 1901, 22.] Being created in the image of God, we believe that it is not improper, that it is not unrighteous, for us to hope that we may be permitted to partake of the attributes of deity and, if we are faithful, to become like unto God…” (
Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith [2011], 71).
“‘President Brimhall, these children are now at play, making mud worlds, the time will come when some of these boys,
through their faithfulness to the gospel, will progress and develop in knowledge, intelligence and power, in future eternities, until they shall be able to go out into space where there is unorganized matter and call together the necessary elements, and through their knowledge of and control over the laws and powers of nature, to organize matter into worlds on which their posterity may dwell, and over which they shall rule as gods’” (Lorenzo Snow,
Improvement Era, June 1919, 658–59, quoted in
Presidents of the Church: Student Manual [2004], 90).
One of the commandments in The Holy Bible: Thou shalt not lie. Oh, right. It is an unreliable source LDS say. Jane, when I said there would not be an honest discourse on the matter, you vehemently denied such a thing. As others raised supporting proof to the OP, you dismissed it...said we were misinformed and that it just was not true.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is based on TRUTH. We will not hide it under a bushel, but shine HIS light into the darkness.
