Korob and Sylvia in "Catspaw" came from another galaxy.

Is it canon that God is at the center of the galaxy? Also...

Watching the episode. The edge of the universe is definitely not 1 billion light years away. More like 50 times that. And its likely to be just more universe when you get there.
Well, it's Star Trek. The science hasn't always been solid...

There's a point beyond which we can no long observe, iirc we've never actually seen "the edge of the universe."
Strickly speaking we don't know there even is a "edge.'
The universe might be endless.
'And the Lord sayth unto the people, 'Stay away from the Galactic Barrier, that shit is crazy.' And the people agreed.'
Pretty sure it was in Luke.
I thought there were five canonical gospels: TOS, TNG, DS9, VOYAGER, and ENTERPRISE.
Bazing!
That was no bazing, that was being awake less than 30 minutes. It takes 2 hours to get the brain out of neutral.
The God-thing in ST5 is obviously a false God. If anything, the movie puts the kybosh on any idea of God being at the center of the galaxy (Sybok is ultimately portrayed as a dismayed and broken person for his faith in the almighty). Remember that the idea came to Shatner as a result of watching Televangelists claiming on TV that God speaks directly to them, the whole plot was designed as something of a satire of these mad fringes of religion. Kirk standing up to him is basically Shatner's comment on these people, when Kirk asks "What DOES 'God' need with a starship?" its intended delivery is with a heavy dose of sarcasm, and that sense of satire running through the script should always be bore in mind when one is watching the movie.
ST5 has got a message. It tends to be overlooked, but there are all sorts of layers there for anyone willing to watch it with a discerning eye.

This lady knows what shes talking about.

I'm not sure anyone really argues that the problem with ST V is its "message" or lack of same. The problem is that it's not a very good movie.
The message doesn't matter if the execution falls short.
The commonly held belief in real life is that there is a black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. In Star Trek, it's been canonically shown that there's a planet surrounded by some weird blue glow that somehow disappears once you get close and turns into your stereotypical Trek desert planet. It's uncertain if the planet is even orbiting a star, but it would have to be to be able to support life in an Earthlike environment. So why the star isn't at the center of the galaxy but the planet is, is a mystery.

I don't disagree Greg, and I'm not for a minute suggesting the movie isn't lame.
But in it's own way, it has got a heart. It's just that the heat-beat is a little off. What that movie needs a pacemaker. A pacemaker, not a peacemaker, or a placeholder, or a placebo. Well, maybe a placebo. Maybe all it really needs a clue? 
Bill Shatner came at the story from really a very cynical viewpoint ("Paradise" City, etc) which is somewhat at odds with Star Trek. That's a problem when he's the director, the writer *and* the star.
Oh, THAT is why the catholic church calls it canon law.
By Any Other Name- the Kelvans came from Andromeda Galaxy.
VGer... and by extension Decker and Ilia.
CCC.
I remember a comic strip I saw, Kirk says "Spock, Bones, look, Sybok was right. It is the Creator."
The next frame was Roddenberry.
CCC.
