- Eaton: "Good God!"
- Brody: "Yes, that's just what the Hebrews thought."

God, also known as Jehovah, Yahweh, the Almighty or Allah, is the deity of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions.
Christians believe Jesus Christ was both the Son and human incarnation of God, while Muslims believe Muhammad was sent by God as a messenger and prophet.
Impact on humanity[]
Michelangelo painted the story of Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, depicting God's creation of the world followed by Adam and Eve.

"Lightning. Fire. Power of God or something."
In 1936, archaeologist Indiana Jones showed Musgrove and Eaton an image of the Ark of the Covenant firing beams of light that could be interpreted as the "power of God". René Emile Belloq later told Jones that the relic was a transmitter for talking to the deity. When Belloq and the Nazis opened the Ark, supernatural forces were brought down upon them and wiped out all those present with the exception of the captive Jones and Marion Ravenwood who kept their eyes shut during the whole ordeal and opened them to find their bonds had been severed.[1]
Two years later in 1938, as part of the Temple of the Sun's three trials protecting the Holy Grail, Indiana Jones had to cross a lettered stepping stone path to spell out Jehovah; however, he initially neglected to account for the name in Latin beginning with a "I" and nearly fell to his death.[2]
In 1947, Jones had an encounter with the Babylonian deity Marduk upon accessing to the enigmatic realm of Aetherium through the Infernal Machine and survived. After escaping with his partner Sophia Hapgood and being asked by Doctor Gennadi Volodnikov if he saw God like the Tower of Babel legend claimed, Indy expressed his hope that Marduk wasn't God as he hadn't been very forgiving.[3]
In 1957, as he opted to get into a King Cool refrigerator to survive the incoming explosion of Doom Town, a much older Jones reflected that he hadn't survived the wrath of God just to end up a smudge of irradiated dust.[4]
