In the Christian world, vast amounts of manpower and money have been invested in education. It should be of utmost importance to find out if this heavy investment produces students who see Christianity as compatible with the science they learn in Christian schools, because researchers have claimed that there are misunderstandings of the nature of science and the incompatibility of science and religion among school students. The goal of this study is to find out if Christian schooling has any effects on students' concepts of the nature of science, their attitudes toward science and religion, and their ability to integrate science and theology. Part one of this paper is a description of Hong Kong public education in Christian schools. It includes a brief history of education in Hong Kong, an assessment of the current status of Christian schools, science education in Hong Kong, and an in-depth statistical picture of the student population in a Christian school. Part two is a statistical study intends to examine whether the students' understanding of the KNOWLEDGE and LIMITATIONS of science, their ATTITUDE toward sience and religion, and their INTEGRATION of science and theology are affected by (1) the SCHOOL (Christian or non-Christian), (2) the grade LEVEL, (3) the GENDER difference, (4) the teaching time of just one SEMESTER, (5) the TEACHER, (6) the RELIGION, and (7) the CHURCH activities. The data collected from 20 Hong Kong secondary schools confirm that Christian schooling does affect positively their students' accuracy of understanding of the knowledge and limitations of science, attitudes toward science and religion, and ability to integrate science and theology; and the longer students are in the Christian schools, the stronger the effect. The findings also support that while the boys perform better than the girls with regard to science knowledge, the girls have more positive attitudes than the boys toward science and religion. The research also examines whether the students' views of science and religion are influenced by their teachers, churches, or their religious experience. Finally, the effect of training on teachers' view of science and theology is also studied.
