Further, according to Brooks and Shaw (1973), there is no evidence in
the geological record that any soup existed.
"If there ever was a primitive soup, then we would expect to find at
least somewhere on this planet either massive sediments containing
enormous amounts of the various nitrogenous organic compounds, acids,
purines, pyrimidines, and the like; or in much metamorphosed sediments
we should find vast amounts of nitrogenous cokes. In fact no such
materials have been found anywhere on earth."

A primeval soup would necessarily left such evidence?

It's basically an argument from ignorance, awfully close to, "I don't
know what happened to this layer of organic compounds, therefore there
wasn't one." I'd think that these materials wold have gotten eaten up
and exist nowadays in the biosphere. Say, what happens to soft tissues
that don't get petrified, anyway?

Hmm. One more thing to add to my file of how anti-evolutionists
desperately want to have everything both ways:

When there's no evidence of "soft matter" (generally carbon-based as
opposed to metal or silicon based), then they spin it as "abiogenesis
is impossible". When there is a rare case of fossilization, such as in
the recent find of dinosaur "soft tissue", they jump on it as
"evidence" of a young earth.
