If the angels were in view in Genesis 6 and the Nephilim (and Rephaim, and Zamzummim, and Anakim, and Amorites)were the result of these illegal unions, then a lot of things in Scripture become more understandable.

Yeah... if.

2 Peter 3:16
He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters.

His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort,

as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

What are you suggesting with the quote from Peter? If you are suggesting that I am ignorant or unlearned, I am not. Nor am I unstudied on this particular topic. I've spent many hours comparing Scripture with Scripture. If you do not see it, then fine. Distorting Scripture to try to insult your debate opponent is not a wise or Christian thing to do. Knock it off and try to debate with some civility and Christian charity.

We know from scripture that the Anakim, the Rephaim, and the Amorites were all giant tribes that were targeted for destruction. if you need references that they were giants I can provide. But, I'm assuming you can research this yourself as well. Other tribes like Hittites etc., have been called giants by secular or other biblical researchers, but as I see no evidence in Scripture, I leave them open as either and don't count them in the giant category. That aside, the evidence of a special class of people who were also very tall in stature and very cursed exists in Scripture. Now either God doesn't like tall people or there is something else. God is not an arbitrary genocidal maniac. The angel theory answers this question and is in harmony with the rest of Scripture. The Sethite leaves gaping holes that have to also be explained. Does not mean that Sethite proponents are bad guys. Just means there is more for them to explain.
