"A culture's level of scientific understanding significantly influences how
its religious texts are interpreted. The interplay between scientific discovery and
scriptural understanding has been controversial throughout history. For example, the Catholic church's response to scholars who disproved the geocentric understanding of the universe is well known. The studies of geology, astronomy,
and organic evolution have all caused numerous problems with literal interpretations of the Biblical account of creation.

Joseph Smith, Jr., in the mid-nineteenth century." [Author] -
