Some microscopic organisms are said to have survived exposure to space. But just because some of the pieces have been shown to be plausible, doesn't justify accepting the entire scenario.

I agree with you.

I think this is a good statistics exercise too. What's more likely? That life emerges spontaneously in multiple spots of space, or that life survives inter-planetary (and perhaps inter-solar system) journeys?

You couldn't possibly answer that.
