Excellent points! And I enjoy a healthy dose of “spritual speculation” every now and then, so don’t worry about offending me. Plus I’ve got thick skin and a short term memory!
If we assume this interpretation (that sons of God is referring to fallen angels), one possible explanation for how this could occur is that the angels took on physical bodies or forms in order to have sexual relations with human women.
In some Jewish and Christian traditions, there is a concept known as "angelic incarnation," which suggests that angels are able to take on human form or bodies. This idea is based on certain passages in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament where angels appear in human-like form and interact with humans.
For example, as I mentioned earlier, in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19, two angels appear in human form and visit Lot in order to warn him about the impending destruction of the cities. The men of Sodom DEF thought the “angels” were capable of sexual interaction, for they demanded to sleep with them. Similarly, in the New Testament, the angel Gabriel appears to Mary in the form of a man to announce that she will give birth to Jesus.
If we accept the idea of angelic incarnation, then it is possible that the fallen angels in Genesis 6 took on human form in order to have sexual relations with human women and produce offspring.
And don’t over look Hebrews 13:2 where it states, "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it." This suggests that angels can take on human form and interact with people in a way that we don’t even know that they’re not human.

However they were able to do it, they were able to produce giant offspring.
