That's a good point. There's always the possibility that there are aspects of nature of which we are currently unaware, and loopholes to nature's laws we haven't discovered. That being said, some things do appear highly unlikely.

Check out the excerpt from Michio Kaku's Physics of the Impossible that I posted today in the "Noteable quotes, excerpts, and profound lines" thread. I think you'll enjoy it, even if you don't agree with the author's conclusions.
