A spiral galaxy is a galaxy consisting of a rotating disk of stars, gas and dust which has a couple of arms that extend outwards from the central bulge.
A spiral galaxy is evidence of a young universe, and a theory of dark matter has been proposed to try to reconcile its spiral pattern with belief in an old universe. Some spiral galaxies have arms that spin in a direction opposite to the wake of the inner spin, further defying atheistic theories.
The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy.
