Your original question about percentages of beliefs is difficult to answer, because each individual believes what they believe. Even if they are part of a church that stands behind evolution or ID, that has little to do with convictions in the heart and mind.
When I took Physiology in school, there was a point that the intelligent design concept just struck me with a blow. We were studying the inner workings of the ear.
Most of us are familiar with the hammer-anvil-stirrup bones, the eardrum, and other extrememly tiny structures and intricate systems that regulate and inform the body.
But then we got to the cilia inside the cochlea. These tiny hairs are so small, they are parts of single cells. Each one corresponds to a different pitch. When sound waves come in, they hit these cilia differently, and the movement sends an impulse to the brain.
"The cilia directly opens pores called ion channels at the tips of the cilia. Electrically charged potassium ions enter the hair cells through open ion channels and change the cells' voltage."
"Like a TRP channel that mediates fruit flies' sense of touch -- TRPA1 contains a chain-like stretch of 17 identical links (called ankyrin repeats) leading up to the channel part of the protein. (Corey sometimes subtitles lectures "What a Long, Strange TRP It's Been.") Maybe, they posited, the hair cell uses this chain to pull the channel open."

These shown are hair cells for balance, rather than hearing.
A good article on the workings of the ear -- http://members.aol.com/tonyjeffs/text/dia.htm
Addendum for clarification:
It's not just the concept that functioning animals exist on the earth -- if you study the intricacy of how they function, with tiny forms taking high function and comples processes drawn from ion and chemical movement -- it's too amazing to take in.
Imagine each hair cell assigned to a different frequency, out of random formation and natural selection.
