"If you cannot prove something or at least comprehend it, you should not have the right to believe it. That's what they say."

No. We say if you cannot prove something you have no reason to believe it. According to your reasoning if I went out today convinced that I was in fact a pink elephant from the 5th dimension, that claim would have equal validity to yours. Why? Well because I can't prove it!
