A fairly recent CBS poll showed that only 13% of people believed in naturalistic evolution.

Believing that God somehow guided some unnamed process is not naturalistic evolution. In fact, it isn’t really evolution at all if we say that some smart guy jumps in the pit and changes things every X period of time or so.

Sounds more like a cook tending to the cooking.

So? Evolution was still true 200 years ago, when the theory hadn't been derived yet and nobody "believed" in naturalistic evolution. Is this a popularity contest? Facts are facts. We've got them and you don't.

There is a fourth option (to young-earth Creationism, traditional Evolution, & ID) it is known as Theistic Evolution. It is not a "God in the gaps" theory. Kind of complex to go into depth here, but simply put that evolution is the vehicle God created to activate creation, he didn't need to step in from time to time and change things, before time, all events were set in motion.
