Fulljames, Peter; Francis, Leslie J.

Educational Studies, v14 n1 p77-96 1988

The attitude towards Christianity of 624 sixth form students in Kenya was measured using the Francis scale of attitude towards Christianity. Results suggest that attitude towards Christianity is influenced negatively by the view that scientific research results in absolute truth. There was no relationship between scientism and perception of creationism. (JDH)
