Eliza R. SnowEach one of us in our organizations is endowed with the germs of every faculty requisite to constitute a god or a goddess.
Orson PrattThe study of science is the study of something eternal. If we study astronomy, we study the works of God. If we study chemistry, geology, optics, or any other branch of science, every new truth we come to the understanding of is eternal; it is a part of the great system of universal truth. It is truth that exists throughout universal nature; and God is the dispenser of all truth—scientific, religious, and political.

President Young asked Elder Orson Pratt what he thought of his preaching that intelligent beings would continue to learn to all eternity. Pratt said that he believed the Gods had a knowledge at the present time of every thing that ever did exist to the endless ages of all eternity. . . . President Young remarked that . . . it was not true: it was false doctrine, for the Gods and all intelligent beings would never cease to learn.
If there was a point where man in his progression could not proceed any further, the very idea would throw a gloom over every intelligent and reflecting mind. God himself is increasing and progressing in knowledge, power, and dominion, and will do so, worlds without end. It is just so with us.
