What discredits them, in my eyes, is the way they reserve to themselves the right to decide which passages can be interpreted in light of current knowledge and which ones can't.

Is that anything like evos who say that they believe God and believe in God, interpreting the creation account in light of the ToE?

If it discredits creationists to decide which passages can be interpreted in light of current knowledge, why is it OK for evos to do it? Why doesn't that discredit evolutionists in your eyes, who say they believe in God?

Why the double standard, one for creationists and one for evos?

It's not a double standard. It's not the deciding which passages to interpret that discredits creationists, it's then turning around and telling everyone else "My interpretations are just what the Bible obviously means, but your interpretations are going to send you to hell." As far as I know, evos who believe in God are all for intepreting passages in light of current knowledge.
