I'll believe it when I see it.
You know it when you see it. Believing is for things you never have seen.
Thats the point of the phrase. The idea is so unbelievable that it needs to be personally verified before it can be taken seriously...
Not to mention, you can see something and still not 'know' - stage magic, for one.
See also: 'it has to be seen to be believed'; 'i cant believe my eyes'; the word 'unbelievable'
No end of useless pedantry these days
Yeah, no. You're equating belief with faith.
I don't "believe" things until that belief is justified.
