I still can't agree that the sons of God is referring to Seth's line. To do that also requires us to make assumptions. First, to attribute this to Seth's line, we must assume that there was a strict mandate to not inter-marry with non-believers. Secondly, it means there had to be a strict law prior to the mosaic law forbidding this. Along the lines, if you intermarry you shall surely be put to death. It seems to me for God to judge the whole race because of an issue of intermarriage and destroying them completely to be more than extreme, unless every single person intermarried. Now if there was an "unholy" race, such as could come about by an unnatural union, that could be seen as detrimental to humanity, it would need to be erradicated completely, much like a cancer. Even after the line of Seth was to be preserved, there were times of intermarriage, where the judgment was not as harsh. We can banter back and forth about this but for me, there are too many arguments against the line of Seth as for. I may not be able to prove it undeniably from scripture, but in the same way, you can't prove Seth's line, it just isn't clear and for both views it requires speculation and assumption. One just makes much more sense to me than the other. BTW, I used to believe it spoke of Seth's line, but I always felt uncomfortable with that view. Attributing it to Seth's line leaves far more questions than to fallen angels.
