sons of God are the angels (see also Job 1:6 or 38:7)
the nephilim were the spawn of the sons of God mating with human women; the author is stating that all the old tales and legends about Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Sumerian gods were these people
Son of God IN THE OLD TESTAMENT The title "son of God" is frequent in the Old Testament. The word "son" was employed among the Semites to signify not only filiation but other close connexion or intimate relationships. So, "a son of strength" was a hero, a warrior, "son of wickedness" a wicked man, "sons of pride" wild beasts, "son of possession" a possessor, "son of pledging" a hostage, "son of lightning" a swift bird, "son of death" one doomed to death, "son of a bow" an arrow, "son of Belial" a wicked man, "sons of prophets" disciples of prophets, etc.
The title "son of God" was applied in the Old Testament to persons having any special relationship with God. Angels, just and pious men, the descendants of Seth, were called "sons of God" (Job, i, 6; ii, 1; Ps. lxxxviii, 7; Wisd., ii, 13; etc.). In a similar manner, it was given to Israelites (Deut., xiv, l); and of Israel, as a nation, we read: "And thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son, my firstborn. I have said to thee: Let my son go, that he may serve me" (Ex., iv, 22 sq.). The leaders of the people, kings, princes, and judges, holding authority from God, were called sons of God. The theocratic king as lieutenant of God, and especially when he was providentially selected to be a type of the Messias, was honored with the title "Son of God". But the Messias, the Chosen One, the Elect of God, was called the Son of God (Ps. ii, 7). Even Wellhausen admits that Ps. ii is Messianic (see Hast., Dict. the Bible", lV, 571).
So Son would mean an intimate relationship with whatever they are the son of. Means that it's a title that can be given to any number of things, it doesn't have to be angels and doesn't have to be humans, it doesn't even have to be male.
Nephilim, a Hebrew word often rendered as “giants,” may also mean “fallen ones.” However, given that angels do not have bodies, which are needed for the procreation of human children—barring a miracle—and given that in heaven human beings live like angels and thus do not get married (Matt. 22:30), the identity of the “sons of God” points to mere humans. Cain, the immoral son of Adam. Thus, “fallen ones” Nephilim can also be translated as “tyrants,” violent men who want to make a name for themselves and will do whatever it takes to achieve it. Which makes sense if they were immoral "fallen ones" from Cain.
In the book of Job, the sons of God witnessed this universe's creation. This reality/universe existed for beings in the base reality to interact as avatars in this realm - to walk, talk and exist here and not in the same way as they did in the base reality.
After the fall of Adam and Eve, angels were sent here to teach man how to exist on the earth. It is during this time they made offspring with humans. In Heaven, angels don't procreate - but in their avatar form in this reality, why couldn't they?
God himself walked with Adam and Eve and talked with them. The serpent is Satan, the craftiest and cunning of all of God's creation(s). Upon eating the fruit they realize they were naked - because God himself and likely Satan and the other angels walked around with clothes on. There is no other reason why the only two humans on earth, brand new love birds would know or care if they had clothes on or not otherwise.
Where does it say angles used avatars with bodies? (cite)

God himself walked with Adam and Eve and talked with them. - God can do anything, where would it say God used an avatar, and who said god cannot exist in physical form? Angles are not God.
Satan was closer to a large beast-like thing if you read the root of the word meaning leviathan. He was big and scary.
We have no clue what God looked like, how they walked with him if he had clothes on, or any of that. You are talking about things that arent in the bible.
Take the analogy but you don't have to take it so literal - we exist to God and Heaven like a character in a super realistic simulation or matrix/holodeck would exist to us, the programmer/coder.
To understand that heaven is the base reality and we exist in a sub-reality to it. The Bible says this reality will be rebooted and a new reality given to those of us who have been saved, right? Salvation is the promise that you will be saved, like your saved file/data, and will be saved forever to exist in a new reality God has planned for us.
Are we in God's computer - no, I'm saying the analogy for how the relationship is or works is basically the same. It is in this day of high technology that we can understand how our existence is no different than a being in a highly accurate simulation.
Now hearing that God know's all the hairs of your head - is on par with what we would expect in any of our modern games/simulations. How many miles walked, interactions/consumptions/achievements, etc. Jesus walking on the water - how hard would that be for you to do that in your program?
Job 38 has the sons of God witnessing the creation.
In Exodus 24, God opens a portal from heaven and oversees a dinner with Moses and the 70 elders, and he is standing on a road of sapphires. He is standing on the road, and He walked with Adam.
Adam/humans were to be caretakers of this world/reality, but over and over we find angels interacting in avatar form in the Bible. Everything in this world is made of two things - electrons and quarks. Neither God or angels in heaven are made of quarks and electrons - but their avatars would have to be in this realm.
Heaven does not exist in this creation/realm/universe, but the opposite is true in the same way an MMORPG/West World/simulation/video game does to our reality. Instead of zeros and ones, we are constructed/programmed too but in a much more complicated manner.
Angels/demons can take possession of humans in this reality. Romans 9 basically tells us that there are NPC's in this world that we interact with.
There are two ways of believing what you read in the Bible - how I'm describing it - how the physical manifestations of God/Jesus/Angels/Heaven/Miracles could work with our understanding of our reality in the current day, or magic.
Magic sells God, the Ultimate Engineer, soooooo short. God doesn't use magic. We are made in their image, our existence/being crafted as replicating sentient creatures crafted out of nothing but energy. We are standing waves of energy - nothing more. You, your thoughts and dreams and the entire universe is made out of quarks and electrons which are nothing but infinitesimally small points of energy.

Yes, I agree Cain was cursed and marked
