1st, IF it should happen to be true, it could aid in intuitive leaps in understanding across disciplines if a common relationship, a clearer understanding of God's purpose, can be discerned. If it is false, such consideration will cost nothing.
2nd, It may serve to help reinforce faith by giving a clearer understanding of his purposes, rather than making us become more dogmatic and destroying faith when we run headlong into a wall.
Seems to me to be a win/win all around.
The assumption of regular process is the only assumption that science can work from. It's the definition of science. Make no difference what you believe the ultimate cause is.
I would advise not basing one's faith in worldly knowledge. I think the Bible says this somewhere, but I could be misreading it.
