It has been said we can evolve into gods (“The Origin of Man” Improvement Era, Nov. 1909, Joseph F. Smith, John R. Winder,
Anthon H. Lund, First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

This isn't true in the sense how the theory of evolution teaches animals evolved from one species to another for Brigham Young said we are the same species as God-Journal of Discourses, 4:217-218 and Tad R. Callister said, “The difference between man and God is significant—but it is one of degree, not kind.” “Our Identity and Our Destiny” Aug. 14, 2012 BYU Devotional. We can’t evolve into gods just like we didn’t evolve from a lower species. The direct and lineal/biological parents of our race/species as both spirits and humans are Heavenly Father and Mother, and they are what we can grow up to become by obeying the same laws they did to reach godhood.
