** His refusal to also blow up the Ark is an act of faith in God and the Truth to the power of the Ark. While Belloq correctly calls it a historical treasure that Indy couldn't bring himself to destroy, Indiana realizes if the Nazis do open the Ark, it will destroy them, like the aforementioned passage. He just needs to have faith in God acting out like that once more.
Added DiffLines:
* While Indy did win by letting the hubris of the Nazis destroy themselves, there is one action which he is needed for that would have been different: Marion's fate. Had Indy not joined this quest, she would have likely died in her bar when the Nazis came for the pendent. They had her in a tight hold and Toht was about to torture her. It seems unlikely he would leave any witness alive once they got what they needed.

* Indy gets quite a bit of flak for being a PinballProtagonist who WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing in the climax, allowing TheScourgeOfGod to take care of things. But that is actually a common theme in early parts of Literature/TheBible: God often instructs His people to (as per 1 Chronicles 20:17) "set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you". God would then either smite the enemy directly (as in the film) or sow confusion amongst their number, turning them upon each other and leaving the Israelites with mopping up. Many of the fledgling nation's early battles were handled thusly, including the infamous case where God used arbitrary methods to reduce the size of the Israelite army to a couple hundred -- just so that they (and their enemies) would have to realize that it was He who was responsible for the victory.

** Not to mention the sheer irony that this is at least the second time it's happened happened, since Indy and Sallah found the Ark buried under heaps of sand and dirt, where nobody would ever find it. History really ''does'' repeat itself after all...
* After the Nazis steal the Ark from the ''Bantu Wind'', it is possible that the sub did not dive for the entire duration of the voyage to the island (assuming the deleted scene where Indy lashes himself to the periscope with his whip is non-canon). This explains why Indy managed to survive the journey. Historically, U-boats did not stay submerged for extended periods of time and their electric motors would need to be recharged on the surface. Moreover, the U-boats were much faster on thesurface - surface-- and given time was of the essence for the expedition (''especially'' after what happened at Tanis), it seems Indy just stayed on deck for the ride.

** Alternatively, it ''is'' the perfect place for it -- out of the way, where it can't be used at all, much less misused. As stated above, whoever took it to Tanis figured that one out and made sure it was well-hidden (in a stone sarcophagus in a concealed temple, no less) before a sandstorm covered the city -- and who's to say that that sandstorm wasn't God at work?

* Just how many highly dangerous and/or magical artifacts have been collected by the US government? The warehouse at the end is enormous and appears to be filled with crates similar to the one the Ark was placed in and they are all marked with a "Top Secret: Do Not Open" sign.
