How do we really know God exists... The Bible Answers

^is that the long version of "to see is to believe"?

Definitely, NO.

To see is to believe HAS LONG BEEN ABANDONED. The most rational is "TO SEE IS TO KNOW"

i newer knew that, really.. that's quite a revolution.

so what do you call the things you listed in 1, 2 and 3?

"It is easily seen, from what has been said before, that the concept of an absolutely necessary being is a pure concept of reason, that is, a mere idea, the objective reality of which is by no means proved by the fact that reason requires this idea. This idea does no more than point to a certain but unattainable completeness, and serves rather to limit the understanding than to extend it to new objects. It seems strange and absurd, however, that the inference from a given existence in general to an absolutely necessary existence should seem compelling and correct, and yet that all the conditions under which the understanding can form concept of such a necessity should be entirely against us." Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, B620.
