Believe me when I say that, when I see it, I will believe it. Under what conditions I will accept certain beliefs is not addressed in the Bible.

I agree that faith is the evidence of things unseen.

No, according to YOUR word. What you have just said does not logically follow from Hebrews 11:1. It is possible to see and then later have faith (confer the apostle Thomas, the Jewish man Paul formerly known as Saul, and also James).
