"I was still wrong to believe it before it had been proven"

Search for David Hume and read up on his Problem of induction. Once you grasp the concept that there are things that cannot be proven or justified, you might finally understand why faith and belief are necessary, if not, inherent to sentient beings and crucial to a healthy human mind. Logic limits men, but that doesn't mean we dispose of it completely. Its more logical and reasonable to think some guy in the desert has a 1% chance of living and is going to die out there - but he'll take that 1% against all odds because logic can suck dick.

Belief is very important. Humans are more emotional beings than logical. And it helps -

Believe in something, preferably positive.
