Why are there supermassive black holes at the center of every galaxy

So what we do know is that supermassive black holes lie at the center of virtually all galaxies, but why? And which came first, the galaxy or the black hole?
Given why black holes form in the first place (my understanding being that a star goes supernova then implodes on itself forming one), why does one exist at the center of each galaxy?
And since each galaxy has one (and I'm assuming only one) at it's core, are they the catalyst that formed the galaxy in the first place and if so where did the original star come from?

What if each black hole has it's own universe in it?

Black holes don't age....do they?

I thought black holes were caused by imploding stars

The "evaporate" over a very long period of time, so yes.

Evaporate?

In theory they do. I'm pretty sure no one has ever observed one for a few trillion years though.

Interesting.

Well I was excluding God from that comment
I'm always amazed at how people don't question scientific theories of black holes more, considering they only exist in theory and by faith

Obviously, a new black hole forms every time someone divides by zero.

Obviously you haven't seen Interstellar yet

Why do each of us have a butt hole? To shite out of and in some kinky cases for stuffing. Same thing with galaxies. Gotta have an entry and exit.
