Benefits

Let's see... I'm sure I can think of a few.

Antibiotic rotation
Gene Therapy
Genetically Engineered Crops
Pre-birth screening for various genetic disorders
Any medical treatment related to DNA or genetics
Any food science related to DNA or genectics

etc, etc, etc

This is a science forum

For the umpteenth time, the ToE has absolutely nothing to do with such practical science. The illusion that it does is one of the saddest things imaginable.

Do you have any scientific basis for this opinion? I would love to see some support of this wild claim.

As I understand it The ToE predicted the existence of DNA before it was ever found.

What you are saying is that "Thermodynamics has nothing to do with practical acitivites like installing an air conditioner". Now, while I can know very little about thermodynamics and still install an air conditiioner.... thermodynamics in fact has everything to do with it.

Here's one

How about all of the successful medical testing that has been performed on Chimpanzees?

I believe a lot of the advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS have come about partly because of chimpanzee testing.

Now... why is this is a direct result of the ToE? Well without the ToE how would we know to test drugs on chimps?
