Etymology
From Greek galacticos, meaning "milk"; named for the Milky Way, which seen in the night sky from the Earth's viewpoint forms a "milky way" or "road of milk", as the spiral arm of the galaxy forms a streak we can faintly see.
Noun
galaxy (plural: galaxies)
- a collection of billions of stars, galactic dust, black holes, etc. of which there are billions in the known universe. They usually form spiral or elliptical shapes likely due to a central gravity well (i.e. giant black hole), but some form irregular shapes (especially if they are broken away from another galaxy).
- our Milky Way galaxy

I mean to correct your many fallacies, that is what I mean.

Certainly not. That is just another red herring.

No, that does not follow. Even more important, making that rash assumption
guarantees that you will NOT understand the Proverbs. For Christ, as speaking in
the Gospels, has a very different manner of speaking, a very different manner of
using human language, than Solomon did in the Proverbs. So you will make the
wrong assumptions, come up with impossible interpretations of the Proverbs, and
thus end up believing something CONTRARY to the Word of God.
