I'm located in Windsor, Ontario, south of Detroit, Mich. We don't get ice that reliable. My understanding was that ice fishing trips were expeditions that some men take to temporarily escape their crappy marriages. I can't imagine any other reason for freezing your butt off in solitude. I'm not there....yet.
If you are saying we cannot be certain then you are being dishonest to turn around and try to make your case. Scripture explicitly states that each reproduces after its own kind (Gen 1:24) so there is no guessing required. I gave the Scripture. You give your slanted illogical opinion.
1st Corinthians 15:39"All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

Your mention of Windsor reminds me of visiting my grandparents in Detroit back in the 1960's. We always concluded our visit by going through the tunnel to Windsor and then traveling north to the Georgian Bay area. Just beautiful.
But one time we traveled to London, Hamilton, around the lake to Toronto to visit the Canadian Exhibition before returning to North Carolina.
Without exception I have found Canada to be very beautiful - the land and the people.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
The word used for God here actually properly translates to gods, plural. This verse may in fact say that the gods made men like them, in their "likeness". It all depends what you want it to say. Is that why the sons of the gods, found the daughters of men attractive and were able to produce offspring? The interpretation may not be popular, but it's not incorrect. I'm not even saying it says that. I'm just saying it could. Who knows?

Connecting anomalies within human genetics and saying it necessarily has to be from angels reproducing with women is a stretch, to put it lightly. Freakish adaptations and mutations in nature stump even the most skilled biologist, but God has spoken on the matter. What do you think of these vegetables? Has Satan has his way with them as well? No doubt some would say there is no other viable explanation, and it would make as much sense as saying what some here are saying about humans mating with angels and producing offspring against a clear teaching of Scripture to the contrary.

The bible strictly limits procreation to those of their KIND..an angel and humans are of a different kind....Angles were all created in an instant, and have no need for reproduction, plus they never die. How did they drown in the flood? All its takes is a little common sense to see through this charade for dollars...
God is very well understood by many to be a plurality. What has that got to do with this topic? Scripture clearly teaches that each reproduce after their own kind. To say otherwise is to be blatantly dishonest about what is explicitly written. It is very popular to hold to what Scripture teaches against regarding the origin of Nephilim.
Most people can't even agree what plurality God is, whether there is three or one with different forms. Regardless, if different types of the same species can produce offspring like a mule (horse, donkey), liger (lion, tiger), or cabbit (cat, rabbit), then if the text is accurately written as gods, and we are created to be in their image then who knows. I'm not advocating for either. I'm just saying if our mind is closed, then we might miss something important. That's all. The passage you gave does not claim that there are not superior beings with terrestrial forms. It was just trying to explain that our Lord is capable of creating new uncorruptable bodies for us at the resurrection. Maybe you are right, I don't know. I'm just willing to admit I don't know. I feel that there would be better discussions and less debates if everybody was willing to admit that they don't know for sure either.
God is not having sex with His creation to create it. The text I gave explicitly stated a couple of things, quite unequivocally, very important, so pay attention: ONE- each reproduce after their own kind. TWO- Angels and humans are of different kinds. Got it? Good. Therefore, humans cannot have the progeny of angels, which means Nephilim are something else, not what people are proposing. What you want to speculate about them beyond that is your business, but this is the BIBLE discussion forum. The Bible also clearly identifies human beings as the sons of God, but there is no sexual congress anywhere implicit and certainly not explicit in any of that, between God or Jesus Christ and those who come to Him in faith. Yes, we will be recreated anew following the resurrection. Again, what has that got to do with the completely unBiblical view of demonic beings copulating with humans? If you are really confused about the very basics of salvation, perhaps you could start a new thread.
