I can’t get past primordial soup begetting the first living cell.

Evos typically say that's not formally a part of evolution theory...so therefore that's not a problem.

Well... not necessarily a problem for basic evolution theory (descent with modifications plus natural selection), but a far more complex difficult problem.
A basic question is: when & how does interesting organic chemistry first become the simplest possible form of life?

Current hypotheses & models are, well, light-years beyond the 1952 Miller–Urey experiments, and while fascinating cannot be called confirmed theories.
So far, any abiogenic origin ideas can still be falsified and panspermia (non-Earth origins) cannot be ruled out.
