Try measuring something without believing it exists and see how far you get. Belief is a binary so it's not like you can neither believe nor disbelieve in the thing you're measuring. Even besides that, science is very much about belief, because the scientific method implies that every new finding can be falsifiable. The theory of relativity is a very good example of that phenomenon.
