Matt Slick is not a Christian because he is amillennial, gibberish babbler, Calvinist. But he is right about Mormons....
Another way of looking at this is to ask what is the first cause of exaltation to godhead? To be exalted means someone (a god) would have to perform the action of exaltation (as Mormonism teaches). But, if there is an infinite number of exaltations (an infinite number of causes of exaltation), then we could never find the first cause because there wouldn't be one. If there is no first cause, then there can be no second, no third, etc., and there could never be a sequence of these events to occur.
However, Mormons will not give in to a logical proof since their testimonies are not based on facts but on what they claim is a testimony of the Holy Spirit. Of course, all cult groups have testimonies that their church is true (proving that testimonies are contradictory and untrustworthy as a means to determining truth). Nevertheless, they are taught to "feel" theological truth--not think it through.
How then do they respond to this logical proof that Mormonism is false? Normally they say that it is a mystery. Mysteries are fine, but they cannot suffice as an explanation if they contradict logic. In other words, if a principle is blatantly illogically, it cannot be true. Did you get that? It cannot be true. Saying it is a mystery means nothing if the proclamation of that mystery violates the laws of logic. Mormonism is proven false.
What is the truth?
Okay, so if the Mormon principle of eternal regression of exaltations is logically impossible, then what is the truth?
The truth is that there is a single uncaused cause. Logic necessitates that there must be a single being who is without beginning and upon which time has no meaning or affect who is the single uncaused cause. The Bible says that God is unchanging (unlike the Mormon god) and that He has been God from eternity. This is exactly what logic necessitates as being true. The God of Christianity is not an exalted man from another planet with a goddess wife. The God of Christianity has always been God and has never been anything else.
Check out the following verses.
"For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed." (Mal. 3:6 (http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Mal.%203.6))
"Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God," (Psalm 90:2 (http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Ps%2090.2)).
What is sad is that this simple logical proof--and it is a proof that Mormonism is false--will mean basically nothing to those whose spiritual eyes have been blinded by the god of this world.
"And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God . . . ," (2 Cor. 4:3-4 (http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/2%20Cor.%204.3-4)).
