The probablity of something occuring could range from 0.0 to 1.0 (read: 0% to 100%). The probablity of this situation happening is (and I am just guessing here) 0.000,000,000,000,000,000,...,001, and it could even be smaller or larger.

It's false that anything is possible. Some things are impossible, and thus have probability zero.
It's impossible to be taller than yourself, for example.
