** Various villains call out to this trope on how their enemies keep insisting that they are not gods, but otherwise fail to mention anything on ''"what makes someone a god?"'', thereby leaving a hole that the only reason they aren't gods being that someone says so. |

** Played with in in the episode [[Doctor Who |
** Played with in in the episode [[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S2/E09 The Satan Pit|"The Satan Pit"]], where the Doctor finds [[Satan]] chained up on the edge of a black hole. The episode never clarifies if it's just a [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]], actually Satan, or a [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]] that inspired legends of Satan, but all theories are put forward by different characters. |

** In another episode, "Pyramids of Mars", the [[Monster of the Week]] is Sutekh, whose personality and history heavily resembles the same god from Egyptian mythology and possesses very god-like powers (said by the Doctor to be "near-limitless"). Again, it is not clarified whether this is another alien encounter or something completely different. Sutekh is specifically said to be an Osirian, and that he was imprisoned on Mars by the leadership of his planet. |

** Played straight in many episodes, however, where the local religious fanatics would be worshipping something that would later turn out to be either advanced alien technology or some kind of native animal; see ''The Curse Of Peladon'', ''The Face Of Evil'', etc. |
