Genesis 6 says they did have the ability, and did use it.
See what it says?
I do.
Now...
Let's see how your denial ability is functioning!
Genesis 6:1-2
Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters
were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful;
and they took for themselves of all whom they chose.

Wrong! On a national level, God took sides with Issac & Jacob -- two INDIVIDUALS. The other two individuals...not so much. They were excluded from the Abrahamic Covenant of Promise. And God chose Pharaoh to remain in his reprobate state. We have five individuals mentioned in Rom 9.
And quit already with your lame "favoritism" or "discrimination" argument. If you're going to use that argument, then you need to demonstrate from scripture HOW God discriminated! You need to show the basis for the discrimination (race, color, creed, religion, morality, spirituality, social standing, economic status...what?). But since you won't be able to, then you should just cease and desist from employing another inane straw man, even though you think it's such a clever talking point. Why can't you just believe the bible. God does everything for his own pleasure AND according to the counsel of his own will.

Get to the Hebrew, perhaps?
Now it came to pass, when mankind {literally 'adam - came to be used for 'mankind'}
had begun to 'become numerous'/multiply on the face of the ground {adamah},
and daughters/'beautiful women' had been born unto them . . .2~~
that the sons of God {beni ha Elohiym idiom: literally sons of 'elohiym/gods}
kept watching the daughters of mankind . . . that they were very beautiful . . .
and they took/'seized passionately' to them women {'ishshah}
{here is a masculine plural suffix signifying 'it happened
but was irregular'} of all whom they examined and selected.
Something tells me, if those angels had used condoms?
We would not be seeing the Nephilim.
Its called "deduction."
