Did St. Augustine warn us about interpreting the Bible in a way which harms science?

Yesterday I came across [a quote](https://www.azquotes.com/quote/1090537) that was associated with St. Augustine of Hippo which shocked me and I was wondering if this is a real quote by St. Augustine or is it another fake quotation by him? It's from his [Literal Meaning of Genesis](https://thegreatthinkers.org/augustine/major-works/the-literal-meaning-of-genesis-415/) and is a warning to Christians about interpreting the Bible in a way which may damage science. > We must be on our guard against giving interpretations which are > hazardous or opposed to science, and so exposing the word of God to > the ridicule of unbelievers
