Do you believe they were the descendants of Seth or angels?
I think the angel theory is most likely to be correct. Sons of God in the old testament always refers to angels. How can unions between descendants of Seth and the daughters of cain produce giants? The book of jude seems to refer to this when it mentions the angels which kept not their first estate.
But Jesus said that angels do not marry in heaven, right? But these angels were on earth, not in heaven. We wont marry in heaven either but we marry on earth. Abraham served angels milk, butter, and meat and the bible says "and they did eat". I doubt they eat that stuff in heaven but they did while on earth. They also appeared as men, so much so that the people in Sodom wanted to rape them.
It seems far fetched to think that angels procreated with humans....but talking snakes, people walking on water, staffs turning into serpents, and folks rising from the dead also seems far fetched, but I believe it
What say you?

The Nephilim were not 'giants' in then physical sense, they were just tyrants, as the Hebrew lexicons reveal to us. Further, the root word pertains to death, slaying, smite, etc, etc...This explains the state of the world back then and why God chose to wipe out most of humanity, as they were almost all reprobate.
