Yes.
Humility is the prerequisite for acceptance by God.
Moses is said to have talked face to face with God. Coincidentally, he is also known as the "meekest man on earth."

Pride...as in not being able to say "I was wrong about that"...well..that kind of pride is in all of us.
Nothing wrong with wanting proof of God's existance. The more I look, the more I find. It's pride that keep some from looking at the same evidence and being able to say "Ok...you raise a good point."
Now that type of pride...that's the kind of pride that will keep a man from knowing God.
It's not that Scripture has been tried and found lacking, it's that it has been found demanding and therefore left untried.

Pride has nothing to do with it.
REASON demands that there be some, well, reason to believe in, or evidence of a thing's existence before believing in its existence.
Since ther is no reason to believe in any gods, and no evidence of any gods, it's unreasonable to believe in any gods.
Nothing to do with pride.

Pride would more likely demand one try to prove God does not exist. A proud person is not likely to want to admit to a higher power that he would have to answer to.

No.
Does pride demand proof that goblins exist? Dragons? Pixies? How about Spider-Man? Yoda? Gollum?
Is pride the reason you doubt the existence of all of them?

Only men demand proof of the existence of God, and this comes from vanity and un-belief. If the children knew their father, they would see him even if born blind and deaf. Those who were chosen from the foundation of the world know that their Father sees them, though they see him not.
They see the Son, and the Father is in the Son, and the Son in the Father. The flock know the sound of their Shepherd, who is the Good Shepherd, and they follow him wherever he leadeth them.

i think basic curiosity and healthy inquiry demands proof.
if your mechanic told you it was going to cost you 5000$ to fix the nanorotor on your underbungler would it be "prideful" for you to seek a second opinion?

One can be both humble and reasonable. And reason says not to accept something without evidence. To assert that we have "special knowledge" not generally available seems more prideful and arrogant than to say, "I don't know."

No, but logic and science do! The most prideful people I see are self-righteous Christians.

No, common sense does.
Is humility able to just accept it without any evidence?
