In Genesis 4:14, we see Cain saying EVERY ONE. Who else was there, according to them there's only 2 others. Of course Adam and Eve might be mad that their son killed their other son, but probably not enough to have him killed. So who were EVERY ONE?
Those are the people who were created on day 6.
Then we see the Cain took a wife from someplace else, a woman who obviously wasn't one of his sisters, (in verse 16)."
Please guide me if I have misunderstood Brother V's words.

We know from His Book (Genesis 5:2-4)that Adam was fertile for many hundreds of years after Seth was begat:
Quote:
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:
And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

We don't know from Scripture how old Cain was when he began begatting, but if it was just a couple hundred years after his own conception, this is clearly enough diversity in the gene pool to avoid the issues of incest within the same generation.
We know that women are of little importance and their geneologies therefore scarcely documented in Genesis. Let's also assume that imbecilic or sinful male offspring were also not worthy of recording.
Problem solved!
Cain could easily have been 400 years old and conceived with a
woman many generations removed from his parents in Adam and Eve!
Praise Jesus Christ as he leads me to the truth at a pace I am capable of!
