I like to read about biologists trying to simulate our origins.
Once we understand how evolution could work, we could potentially seed life on other planets to prepare them for colonization.
Regardless of what evolution means for our religious beliefs, it is useful as a thought construct to categorize and manipulate the components of life.

Furthermore, knowing about what key states and chemical compounds are necessary for the first steps should help us in our search for extraterrestrial life. These two considerations go together. What temperature ranges would life develop best in, how much of different frequencies are best, etc - all defines where a planet should be, and what kind of atmosphere it should have and even the specific latitude where life could start most easily.
