But, if I were to go mano-a-mano with you, sola scriptura-wise, I'd deliver Genesis 4:1 as my knockout blow to the Serpent Seed doctrine:
"And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD."
Knowing of course, that you will rise from the canvas with a proof-texting right jab. So I won't.

I'm a woman and women always have to have the last word, at least that is what my husband tells me, so you know I have a right jab. But.....since you didn't really say it I really won't deliver the jab. (It's a good question though)

"And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD."

KJV [Genesis 4:1-2] And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Douay [Genesis 4:1-2] And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God. And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.

Eve was possibly carrying twins at this point as the Hebrew is somewhat specific here: "And she again" Strong's #3254. yacaph (yaw-saf')a primitive root; to add or augment (often adverbial, to continue to do a thing) conceive again. These twins had different fathers.....paternal twins, a somewhat common occurrence among prostitutes.
