"the primordial soup theory is the main 'evolutionist' model right now and taught in almost every school."
This might have been true at one time, but is certainly not the case today.
In an ideal world schools would teach views current within science, but we do not live in an ideal world. It is not uncommon for schools to teach outmoded views, especially since many of today's science teachers were probably taught the primordial soup view back when they were in school.
It makes sense to lament the long time period it can take before new scientific developments make their way into textbooks and classrooms. It makes no sense at all to insist that an outmoded view is still the view of science when that is clearly not the case. That the outmoded view is still taught in some schools is unfortunate but irrelevant to this discussion.
The possibility getting the most attention these days is that life originated on or near undersea vents.
