Why were there Nephilim and Giants still on earth after the flood, according to the stories?

[FýrdracaDócincel]

I consider myself fairly well-versed in Christian mythology but this is something I can't seem to ever find a good answer for.

As far as I'm aware, the so-called "men of old" and descendants of Cain weren't allowed on the Arc. The flood was supposed to have killed them off. But then there were Giants in the promised land when the Israelites first arrived.

several theories read

1) the smaller giants went inside the earth and hide, which lines up with what the bible says of the bottomless pit opening, and the creatures coming out in the end of days

2) next theory
the bible says NOAH WAS A PURE HUMAN
it does not say his
sons
or wife
or the 3 wives of the sons were pure human
so if you look at the genetic line of HAM

Genesis 9

AND HAM,
the son of Noah
was the father of Canaan
( THE Canaanites )

Numbers 13:33
And there we saw the GIANTS, the (sons of Anak)

Numbers 13:28 - 29

and moreover we saw the (children of Anak) there.
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the (Canaanites ) dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan ( on top of that HAM was a bit crazy ) earth is flat

3) in the story of gilgamesh it says that the giants also made a boat
so thats another theory

4) or there was another group of angels that did it again
but I doubt that one

[Guy13]

Nephilim means Fallen One in Hebrew. Original languages is ALWAYS best place to Start. Goliath, in David’s fight, was a descendant of Nephilim.
Short version: Demons (divine beings) thrown out of heaven (Revelation 12:4,7,9)(Isaiah14:15) hooked up with woman and created a “super race”(Genesis 6:1-4).
-Now, if I understand the Biblical facts: the fallen ones are angelic demons, therefore, both pre and post flood they (sons of God) impregnated the women of Adam.
-The illogical Assumption to presuppose is that the first batch of Nephilim parented the second group of Nephilim AS
—Angelic demons go to and fro in the whole of creation (Job 1:6-7)(Ephesians 6:11-12)(Ephesians 2:2). They are NOT bound to the Earthly mass itself as are man and woman of Adam.
It’s a logical conclusion and both reliable and valid, both in Data and Method, within the first and second occurrence.

I thought the fallen angels were the Grigori and the Nephilim we're the hybrid children?

[Guy13]

Grigori, as I understand it, are the classification of Demons tossed out of heaven. The Nephilim were the outcomes of tossed from heaven demons impregnating Woman of Adam. Look at the verses referenced and that will give you a clearly laid out opinion from which you may or may not agree with.

There is no connection between those giants, and the giants in the promise land.
How the giants in the promise land came to be, I am not sure.

The Book of Jude said God put the Giants in underworld prison, so I guess some got parole.

I'm an atheist by the way.
