  Actually I should have written L(parameters|data), I'm sorry for the confusion. Which is equal, for a given value of data and parameters, to P(data|parameters). But the likelihood function is not a function of the data (with the parameters fixed), it is a function of the parameters (with the data fixed). Its "meaning" is not a probability distribution of different outcomes given the hypothesis. But I maybe misinterpreted your comment.
