Well, he was described as the Nordic God of Destruction (he also plays a role in creating a new world by destroying the old).. Even the leader of the Greybeards (I forget his name) says that Alduin is unique even to Dragons, to the point where the Last Dragonborn can't even consume his soul, as he'll integral to his role of creation/destruction (Which would probably explain his ability to resurrect dead dragons, summon a meteor shower, travel to the afterlife and consume souls, etc when no other dragon has done). Though he did forsake his role as World Eater.

In either case, the capabilities say "Such a being is not on the level of the transcendent or the godly, but has the highest level of authority amongst those who are just below those levels." which seems to fit Alduin either way.

So there's evidence for both.
