Yuki: At 2:30 this morning you and Suzumiya Haruhi disappeared from this world. Which could mean a lot of things depending on how one chooses to interpret it. Itsuki: I must thank you from the bottom of my heart this world remains unchanged. Cryptic line right there, again could mean a number of things. Perhaps if he followed that up with something it might have been less ambiguous.

Though since everyone here is already on board with the God theory, I probably shouldn't even be bothering to argue this point, its a waste of all our time. My official theory is that she is a human gifted with special abilities, but I'm probably the only one that holds this position. Its like the lines in chapter 7 say:

"Looking at her young and smooth face, I remembered Nagato's "evolution possibility", Asahina's "temporal distortion", and Koizumi treating Haruhi as "God". But as for me, what is Haruhi to me? Just what do I treat her as?"

Well I treat her as an exceptional if a bit eccentric human being with a gift. My theory could change as the novel wears on though.

It seems to me that the problem is with your definition of "god". In the Shinto tradition she could be seen as a god, not "The God". Try watching Kamichu (The Middle School God). She is hardly all powerful. Or "Spirited Away." There are many gods in there who are less than omnipitant.
