To say that “seeing is believing”, is a contradiction in itself. If you see something, it is a fact. When something has been objectively proven by science, there is no room for belief or unbelief. It is a matter of whether one agrees with the objective findings or not. We can dispute the fact, but if it were a fact, one must accept. So if the color of my hair is brown, but because you are color blind and you see it as green, that does not make it green. So for an objective reality, no belief is necessary. It is fact.

“seeing is not believing” because what we see might not be truly objective. Take magic for example. We know that magic has everything to do with illusions and tricks, rather than the supernatural. We could be deceived by what we see.
