I know there was an article posted about the Nephilim (I think by M) but I have been v.busy of late and wanted to look at this topic a bit more.
I found the following link most enlightening but I have not read it all yet but I can assure you the first article is well worth a read.
Be warned it will take at least 10 mins to read unless your very fast at reading.
http://www.ldolphin.org/nephilim.html
I did put this as a reply to the article but being a little out of date I figured no-one would see it.

Yes, that's a good page covering two of the more likely interpretations. I take the Augustinian view, as I find the suggestions that the Genesis passage is talking about demon *possession*, or demons with sexuality contra Matthew, unconvincing. Jude knew about Enoch, sure, but left the issue in verse 6 vague, so I don't feel the need to believe what pseudepigraphcical Enoch believed.
Fun to think about!
