Part of a war that's been going on since the beginning, and everything else we talk about ties into it. Now, were these people the hybrid result of Fallen Angels mating with Mortal Mankind? Not exactly, in my opinion. I've read up on the position of certain eastern churches that have 'the book of Enoch' in their Canon of Scripture as well as other Apochrypha, and I think that the 'Sons of God' were of the pre-Cataclysm race of Seth, while the 'daughters of Men' were of the line of Cain. A hybrid Race resulted that had the worst traits of both peoples, and their wars pretty much ruined the Earth and the whole Cosmos. We are living in a kind of a 'post-apocalyptic' age. Prior to the Flood, the Cataclysm, think and imagine Krypton in the recent Superman 'Man of Steel' movie, with Earth being the 'Post-Krypton' resulting from the Event instead of another world altogether. Almost another world, but not quite. (Im touching on the edge of matters best left unsaid).
So our forefathers were men, albeit men like none that exist now, and the Sethians were called 'Sons of God' and likened to Angels because of their relative holiness and natural excellence, while the Cainites were called 'men' because they lacked even the tenuous spiritual connection that the Sethians still had with their Maker. At first the two races diverged and were genetically isolated from each other, but fallen human nature being what it is a new race appeared from the two that blended the worse traits of both biologically, culturally, and spiritually. As I said, their wars and their interbreeding and dark science that corrupted all flesh made the later near extinction-level event possible.The genetic bottleneck post-cataclysm renders us their descendants somewhat different in appearance, intelligence, and level of physical perfection.
