Plz Help me to Check these Sentences! Thx!

Here are the sentences:
  1. we find that the last statement is hard to believe.
  2. we find that to believe the last statement is hard
  3. we find it is hard to believe the last statement
  4. we find it hard to believe the last statement
  5. we find the last statement hard to believe
  6. we find the last statement is hard to believe.
I want to know which sentence is ungrammatical or non-native- like. Thx!
e.g. "we find that to believe the last statement is hard". i want to know whether the sentence is native-like, because "we find that it is hard to believe the last statement" is quite good, but i think the struture of  "we find that to believe the last statement is hard" is sort of a Chinese pattern. So i hope someone could help me to check all the sentences, if there is something wrong with the grammar or whether the native speakers express their ideas in this way. Thx!

I am sorry for the punctuation problem. The revised sentences are:
1.We find that the last statement is hard to believe.
2.We find that to believe the last statement is hard.
3.We find it is hard to believe the last statement.
4.We find it hard to believe the last statement.
5.We find the last statement hard to believe.
6.We find the last statement is hard to believe.

For me, only these are natural and the native choices (though the others maintain grammaticality):

4.We find it hard to believe the last statement.
5.We find the last statement hard to believe.
