So what you are suggesting preposterously is that *saved men* corrupted the world and brought about the judgment of the Flood. Do you see how silly that sounds?
Furthermore, all these so-called *saved men* perished in the Flood, since only Noah and his family survived. Now how bogus is that?

No, the Nephilim will not be making a comeback. But Satan and his evil angels will be cast down to earth just before the appearance of the Antichrist (Rev 12,13) and there will be a huge push to increase wickedness on earth. We are already seeing things moving in that direction.
What Christ prophesied means that just as in the days of Noah, the majority of people ignored the warnings of judgment to come (Noah being a preacher of righteousness, 2 Pet 2:4,5), we have the same situation today. Relatively few are responding to the Gospel, while sin and evil are increasing, and so is apostasy in the churches.
The eating and drinking and marrying signify that no one (generally) will be giving serious attention to the welfare of their souls when judgment comes. Add to that the fact that the true Gospel is not really being preached in evangelical and fundamental churches, and the focus of too many churches is entertainment rather than soul-winning. As Jesus said: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (Mt 24:12) Too many Christians are focusing on *end-time* prophecies instead of propagating the true Gospel (not Easy Believism).

Check out 2 Samuel 21:
15 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
16 And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant [Heb. rapha' ], the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant [Heb. rapha' ].
19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant [Heb. rapha' ].
21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath [Heb. rapha' ], and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

Exactly! Are these the offspring of godly men and ungodly women?
As far as whether we are still dealing with nephilim / rephaim in our day and time, I sometimes wonder when I see the vileness of those who are so evil there is no fathoming their complete and utter hate. Kinda leaves me scratchin' my head over that verse where Jesus states as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man (Matt 24:37, Luke 17:26).
Some of the things we read and hear about are so abhorrent it goes beyond "natural man" foolishness / thinking and follows along the lines of absolute spiritual wickedness of the evil one.
I worked for RiceTec in Alvin Texas about a year and a half(1991-92) when they first began developing gmo and hybrid rice. It is owned by Prince of Liechtenstein(ceo Phillip Erasmus at that time). What you ask is not that far fetched in the modern day, UNESCO is trying ban genetic alterations on humans as we speak because scientist in the UK,China and US have already edited human DNA in embryos. Homo Sapiens have 23 chromosomes while Neanderthals have/had 24 which would not mean much unless you knew that Europeans,east Asians ect. still hold 66-70% Neanderthal dna(24 chromosomes). Only about 20% of Neanderthal dna has survived from studies done from 2010 to 2016 so estimates are between 1.5-2.5% of the worlds population have chromosomes that could be used in modification. lol, now why scientist are looking for this so hard is anyone's guess but if you google any of what I said you might find it interesting.

guess you missed my post on "giants"
The term son of God in Scripture is attributed to a being that is sinless in it's creation. Adam was a son of God. Lucifer and all created beings are sons of God. After the fall, no one was a son of God. Seth was begotten after Adam's fallen image. Seth was not created a sinless being.
After the fall, the only way to become a son of God is to be born again as a child of God through the new birth by believing the gospel of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. You become a new creature in Christ, a sinless child of God.
Seth could not have been a son of God.
O
There was a direct Command by God to not touch the human woman in a sexual way. Obviously, some of the fallen angels (not all of them) disobeyed God and did just the opposite of what God commanded.
There is a theory, that this is what Peter was referring to in chapter 2 of his 2nd Epistle, that speaks of the history of the old world before the flood of Noah.
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
The word for hell here, is the Greek myth Tartarus.
Since we know Peter's Epistles were written in Rome, he might have picked Tartarus so the Gentiles would understand better, since there was already a myth legend of Giants being cast into Tartarus who tried to defeat the Greek gods.
