In principle, all of that could be true. In principle, it could be true that there is a Santa Claus who has magical powers to avoid detection. In principle, it could be true that there's an invisible, pink unicorn looking over my shoulder as I write this.

The only thing that separates things that could be true in principle and things that we do know to be true is evidence. And the weight of evidence so far doesn't favor your propositions.
