Mormon hymn 'If You Could Hie to Kolob' (hymn #284) teaches the doctrine of infinite regression of gods.

Why Mormons and Christians Can't Understand Each Other 00:15:29 – 00:16:30

Mike cites an official Mormon hymn as further evidence for the polytheistic infinite regression doctrine, making it liturgically embedded in the faith.

Hymn #284 in the LDS hymnal, 'If You Could Hie to Kolob,' includes the verse: 'do you think that you could ever through all eternity find out the generation where gods began to be?' Kolob is described as a star or planet nearest to God's throne in Mormon cosmology. 'Hie' is Old English for 'go quickly.' Mike acknowledges this is a hymn rather than official scripture but considers it close enough.
