Are all spiral shaped galaxies spiral because they have a huge blackhole at their centre?

Asked by krrazypassions (1355points) May 12th, 2011

The Milky Way galaxy we live in has a black-hole in its center. It is spiral in shape. Most galaxies are either spherical or spiral in shape. Is our galaxy spiral shaped due to the central black-hole pulling the galaxy into it like a whirlpool? Do all other spiral galaxies have black-hole centers?
