Typical hack-job scholarship by someone who already had their mind up and uses the kind of argument that almost no one has the knowledge to refute. Even if the original is unclear and the translation is doubtful, that doesn't justify re-translating the entire passage in a pro-LGBT manner. Even if the original is unclear, that doesn't mean that the clarification by traditional exegetes is wrong. I've heard almost exactly the same argument as Ling is putting forward, except that the chapter of Leviticus in question deals with "idolatrous temple prostitution" instead of incest. What if the Bible just means what it says? Pro-LGBT scholars are very happy to accept the plain meaning of Paul's advice that "for those that are burning with passion it is better that they marry than to fall into hell".

Here's the thing I don't understand about Peterson.

He says that science is nested within the Darwinian project of survival, and we must subordinate science to the objective of survival.

However, the notion that we are Darwinian, evolved creatures trying to survive derives from science. So he can't exactly say that survival comes first. "Survival" is actually something derived from and subordinate to science.
