"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.

Even if all this were true, how could she be impregnated by a fallen angel?

Matt. 22:30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven."

The angels can't procreate.

Strong’s concordance can be just as corrupt as Wikipedia

Boy, you are really stretching this one...Gen 4:1-2 is couldn't be clearer, yet you find fault with it. Amazing.

Well, yes, to bare again, she conceived again.

These twins had different fathers.....paternal twins

Does not follow. That his father was Satan is further contradicted by "I have gotten a man from the LORD."

"She conceived again and bare.." is a very common construction. She bare again, she conceived again, they go together. "From a different father, at the same time, paternal twins..?" No support whatsoever here at Cain's birth.
