does attending a course, seminar or presentation, on creation generate a worldview affect?
We considered the effect of having taken a college science course versus attending a course, seminar or presentation on creation as related to student worldview, prior to taking the apologetics course. An analysis of variance using SPSS 11.0 was conducted. The dependent variable (DV) was TS and the independent variables (IV’s) were completion of a college science class (IV1) and/or having attended a creation course seminar or presentation (IV2). The means for IV1 were 62.1 for those answering yes and 59.2 for those answering no. The F test value12 was 1.12 with a probability of 0.292, which is not significant. The means for IV2 were 67.7 for those answering yes and 53.6 for those answering no. The F test value was 25.95 with a probability of 0.000. This would dictate acceptance of the alternative hypothesis which would be that the means are significantly different and not due to chance. Next the effect of the DV time was studied. This was done by conducting a mixed ANOVA test using the
