Cain, a child of Adam and Eve, married in another female child descendent of Adam and Eve. What is the big deal?

You do realize that this doesn't actually constitute proof of anything, right? The Bible doesn't actually state anywhere that Adam and Eve were the only ones created, nor does it actually state that Cain's wife was Adam and Eve's daughter. Under this logic, your interpretation of the Bible story is just as subjective and unfounded as Chiroptera's.
I agree with you when you say this:

I don't agree with your spelling of "peculiar," though.
I would actually render it thus:

most people seem prone to make errors in their comprehension of the Scripture.
And most of them live their entire lives not realizing that their interpretation is completely wrong.
