There is not one word in the Bible that supports the idea that Cain moved away and then found a wife where he moved to....

So if the idea did not come from the Bible, it is added by someone for whatever reasons....

Like i said you need to revise some of these arguments before you try to chose to have an opinion without thoroughly background research Genesis 4:15 -17 Genesis 4:15-17 - Passage*Lookup - New International Version - BibleGateway.com The idea that Cain found a wife it is not mentioned neither does the bible conclude further information about Cain's siblings at the time of Abel's death, but it only leaves us with a loop hole Adam, Eve and Cain. It is either we pick a guess that Cain's wife was his sister or there was another race that already existed elsewhere and even that of course would contradict with the Adam and Eve's creation story.

Absolutely. It is like that with the flood story. It doesn't make sense (logically or theologically) as it stands, yet, if we introduce 'logical entities without sufficient cause' (1) in order to make it work, we lose the religious point to the story.
