	Sorry to disagree. The Bible ( Genesis ch. 4, v. 16,17 ) states,
 And Cain went out from before G-D, and he lived in the land of Node, to
 the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife and she conceived and bore him
 Chanoch. ( Let's not get into the discussion of what knowing means again ).
 The Bible does not state where Cain's wife came from, so no theory is proved
 or disproved. [ The quotes are translations of the original hebrew ].
