Well, you can certainly continue to insist that you're referring to probability without having a probability, or doing any math, but it's unlikely to convince anyone who wasn't already convinced before you began. Similarly, you can certainly continue to insist that multiplying zero by zero over zero and getting zero isn't doing math...but I think you're going to have an even harder time of convincing anyone of that.
I guess we'll have to move forward without any sort of understanding what you're talking about whatsoever. More troubling than the above, is the bit about h and k. You see..in an equation that you have claimed is capable of determining the probability of an event being a miracle, the value of the conclusion...there is a variable that you have defined as the probability of a miracle. This value -must- be known to even -use- the equation as you've presented it......but that brings up an interesting question. Why would you need the equation, if you had that value?
Additionally, are you actually determining the value of any probability of an event being a miracle, or describing the relationships between operants? In essence, are you proving that miracles exist or that "miracle" is a probable explanation, or merely that 1+1=2? This question is only relevant, ofc, if you ever get around to actually doing the math you claim to have done, that you claim supports your conclusion.
Now, we could, amusingly, do some math..........I don't know how well that's going to work since you seem to have some sort of disagreement about what math is, but it should be able to show why your non-math is uninformative and will not necessarily lead to your conclusion. So lets do that. For simplicity..Ill describe just one example and leave you to work out the rest. In the set of 1-10, we'll split it down the middle as if we were playing pool, between high and low numbers. 1-5, is low. 6-10, is high.
Low x High / Low. 1x6/5. That's 1 with a remainder......awfully "Low", wouldn't you say? So how did you reach the conclusion that it was "High"?
