Participants were expected to pick the option that came closest to the their beliefs. Picking the latter is clearly a vote for Creationism. I do agree that the options were limited but if you believe in intelligent design and evolution, as is taught by Catholicism and many other Christian sects, then the first option was clearly the choice meant to be selected because it is not ruling out God's intervention. The second option very clearly rules out any form of evolution.

Though the questions could also be interpreted as God has a role and God doesn't have a role so reluctantly pick the creationist option.
That 35% number is out of whack and 4 years out of date.
