“And what is the context that requires the real understanding here? It would be that the angels had come down and polluted the gene pool to the near extinction of man (mankind). The people might not understand genetics in that day, but Im sure they understood half-breed and hybrid and not human.”
Yet earlier you used the description of these alleged hybrids as “men of renown”
Make up your mind...

I don't recall where I used it in my comments (if you want to point out the post, I'll look at it), but I'll answer it in the context of its usage in the Bible.
These hybrids were referred to by those people (of that day) as "men of renown". The Bible describes how they came about and how they were referred to. It's a pretty simple understanding.
Here's the verse that says this, from the New American Standard Version...
Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore {children} to them. Those were the mighty men who {were} of old, men of renown.

That sounds like a good thing but it isn't. They were geber, giants, hybrids, probably the "heroes" of Greek mythology. Other articles about them said some had double rows of teeth, 6 fingers, etc.
