How does the LDS Church handle verses that imply there is no one like God?

There are quite a number of verses that seem to contrast the LDS teaching of exaltation, where man may become like God and God was once like man, in submission to a God like Him on a different world somewhere. The most difficult ones to reconcile with this theology are in Isaiah 43, 44 and 45. > "Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me." > Isaiah 43:10 > > "'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me." > Isaiah 44:6 > > "Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of > none." Isaiah 44:8 > > "I am Yahweh, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God." > Isaiah 45:5 > > "Surely, God is with you, and there is none else, No other God." > Isaiah 45:14 > > "I am Yahweh, and there is none else." Isaiah 45:18 > > "Is it not I, Yahweh? And there is no other God besides Me, A > righteous God and a Savior; There is none except Me." Isaiah 45:21 > > "I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like > Me" Isaiah 46:9 There are more on this page here , which is where I got these, so I don't know what translation they are. How does the LDS church respond to this?
