Sure they are but, a problem we faces when going into scans from the narrator is that we end up with three different Celestials, each of them said to be the most powerful one (Exitar, Arishem, Tiamut), another thing entirely is, that if these are the most powerful Celestials I'm wondered why it was Toaa and Ziran that fought Thanos with the Heart of the Universe.

Wasn't that in SW which is non canon anymore? I'm not doubting the power Galactus can gave. But his battle record and durabiitly have been lower than Celestial for the most part.
No.

It's canon, I don't believe that it would be mentioned on Marvel.com if it wasn't. His battle Record have also been significantly larger then the Celestials, in entirely different circumstances. The Celestials main Enemy on earth was the Gods, but Galactus main enemy is the Fantastic Four, it could easily have been the other way around but it wasn't.

Maker was a weaker version of the beyonder. I'm not saying that Cosmic Cube are > Galactus which they are not is that Cosmic Cube said they were like nothing compare to Celestial.
I'm well aware of that. I'm just pointing out the fact that a Cosmic Containment Unit which is according to mephisto far above a Sentient Cosmic Cube is but a fraction of the power Galactus possesses, and that Kubik have given Galactus the same status as he has given the Celestials.

I would agree with this. But imo Celestial have had much better consistent showing. While Galactus ability to increase his power might lead him to be more powerful I just don't see Normal Galactus being greater due to things like Durability , Hunger past feats etc.
It is again a matter of perspective, I doesn't think that the average Celestial which pretty much only got Kubik's comment as assistance for it's power is enough to give it a certain win over average Galactus, that varies from being beaten by Earth Heroes to battling Agamotto in his own realm and then later in the Arc defeat the power of Five Cosmic Cubes. Also when Tiamut awoken, he was still weak and he himself stated that he could only take out the majority of earths solar system, Galactus while extremely weak destroyed Three (and a watcher I believe) in one quick swoop, an this is I believe the most recent show of power that can be compared directly between the two.

Here a statement from Thor who has faced both Galactus and Celestial.

Which basically points out what have been known all along, that Galactus was only capable of defeat by Thors hand because he was weakened (which he also was beforehand given the fact that he used technology to attack Ego). On another Note I find it quite funny that Thor regards Exitar as the most powerful Celestial when he is the one he has had the greatest success against.
Also I believe it was in the encounter with Ego but not sure Galactus was mentioned as the "Supremely destructive figure in the known universe"

But as said before we have different opinions and I respect that you pick the celestial but I will contest it every time
