I don't deny that. Most, if not all, large galaxies have one at their centres. It's what makes them active.

That's the part I take issue with. As black holes expand, they also dissipate at the same rate. Even so, our black hole isn't a threat to anything except whatever passes within its direct sphere of influence; everything else orbits around it. We are some 30,000 lightyears away from it. But even if we take it that eventually it will expand such that its gravity takes in the whole of our galaxy, the Earth will have been long gone by then. That's the part I labelled "utter crap"; the scenario in which the Earth is on a course towards our black hole.

Incidentally, objects aren't sucked into black holes - they fall into them.

Irrelevant to my point, so I won't address it other than to acknowledge.

Weeeelllllll, I can't help what you think.

Did he quote the verse, because without looking at it I would bet my life what he is basing it on does not demonstrate any proof that that person who wrote it intended it the way he wants it to mean, much less conveyed any modern knowledge of what we know today.

It is retrofiting after the fact. It is how horoscopes work. Sure it is going to mean what you want it to mean if you want to believe it badly enough.
