If something isn't impossible, does that mean it is inevitable?

Only if it is something you repeat an infinite number of times.

Yes - Everything that can happen does happen.
Some fella off the telly has even written a book about it apparently.

It's possible that the world will be destroyed by nuclear war in the next hour.....

I think GrahamS has it- depends on the context.
If you had a 100000 sided dice, for rolling any given number (probability 1/100000) to be inevitable you'd have to keep rolling it until it came up.
