This verse...

Genesis 6:4. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

...says NOTHING about the N being the OFFSPRING of the SoG and the DoM: they were ALREADY there!

SoG are the offspring from the early Adam/Eve lineage and the DoM are the offspring from the LATER Adam/Eve lineage, nothing more.
