It isn't particularly important in my degree field of physics. As far as I know it isn't particularly important in modern biology either. It seems to be important in psychology. In fact, in physics there is a reliance on some kind of design in the universe, intelligent design is not necessary, but if the fundamental laws of physics were evolving or changing it would be difficult to do physics.
Or biology.

Yeah no kidding, that's what always amazed me! For example F=ma works everywhere, everytime! Plus it's so mathematically simple! Just multiplication, one step up from addition! Why is that? No matrices, no integrals, nothing.
And then why does it seem, the further out in scale you go, either up or down, the math gets that much nastier? Schroedingers equation you need partial derivatives to solve. You can't get closed form solutions to any of them?
I don't know if you have any answers but given you have a degree in Physics and made such great observations above, maybe you have some ideas.
