Abstract
This study explores the relationship between acceptance of a Christian worldview and understanding and acceptance of biological evolution as well as science related attitudes.

The data was collected using a questionnaire and interviews and analysis identified a negative relationship between acceptance of a Christian worldview and acceptance of biological evolution.
