What do you think the primordial soup hypothesis even *is*? There are
multiple different hypotheses regarding abiogenesis, and it's likely
that almost, if not all, of them have at least some validity to them.
The emergence of life from non-life is invariably a complex phenomenon,
one we are working tirelessly to crack. However, unlike the environment
of the early earth, modern day scientists haven't had 500 million years
to solve the issue of abiogenesis.
Yes.
Evidently you haven't been paying attention, there's been experimental
evidence for both natural selection and mutations for well over a
century now. A once-major evolutionary school of thought, now
discredited, called saltationism, held that the mechanism for evolution
was primarily due to genetic mutations, and that the mechanism proposed
by Darwin, natural selection, only played a minor role at best. It's
safe to say that our knowledge of the subject is a bit more refined now,
to put it mildly.

It's called scientific inquiry, look it up.
