" Who is more humble? The scientist who looks the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved? - Carl Sagan

You ask this of people who have a scriptural commandment to be humble

1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

This has lead to competitive humility for the last 20 centuries among Christian people who will with no sense of irony whatsoever declare themselves "100 times more humble than thou art!"
