This is not what it says in Genesis 6.

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
But my post, where I said: "What business did the chief of fallen angels have being in heaven's court? Besides, that doesn't make angels able to have sexual intercourse with human women." was not commenting on Genesis 6. I wrote it in answer to your post where you wrote: "We know that the sons of God were the fallen angels from the book of Job."

My Apologies, your right "What business did the chief of fallen angels have being in heaven's court? I have always wondered this myself.

I have also wondered how the the fallen angels procreated, I have no idea, but they did.

If there were gigantic demonic beings still hanging around, they'd hardly go unnoticed.

They died out a long time ago but we may still get throw backs from their bloodline which maybe be the blue bloods.

I don't "question scripture." Scripture says:

“Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they [were] beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” (Ge 6:1-2 NKJV)

It doesn't mention fallen angels having sex with women. That is an interpretation of Scripture, not Scripture itself. I agree with those who like John Gill in his commentary, says: "Those "sons of God" were not angels either good or bad, as many have thought, since they are incorporeal beings, and cannot be affected with fleshly lusts, or marry and be given in marriage, or generate and be generated; nor the sons of judges, magistrates, and great personages, nor they themselves, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, and so Jarchi and Aben Ezra; but this could be no crime in them, to look upon and take in marriage such persons, though they were the daughters of the meaner sort; and supposing they acted a criminal part in looking at them, and lusting after them, and committing fornication with them, and even in marrying irreligious persons; yet this could only be a partial, not an universal corruption, as is after affirmed, though such examples must indeed have great influence upon the populace; but rather this is to be understood of the posterity of Seth, who from the times of Enos, when then began to be called by the name of the Lord, Ge 4:25 had the title of the sons of God, in distinction from the children of men; these claimed the privilege of divine adoption, and professed to be born of God, and partakers of his grace, and pretended to worship him according to his will, so far as revealed to them, and to fear and serve and glorify him."

Jamieson, Fausset and Brown say: "By the former (sons of God) is meant the family of Seth, who were professedly religious; by the latter, the descendants of apostate Cain. Mixed marriages between parties of opposite principles and practice were necessarily sources of extensive corruption. The women, religious themselves, would as wives and mothers exert an influence fatal to the existence of religion in their household, and consequently the people of that later age sank to the lowest depravity."

Indeed, I have looked at 8 different commentaries, and none of them mention the sons of God being fallen angels.
If the Sons of God are just humans and they took wives of the daughters of men, why would their children be unique?
Why would their children be described as giants or mighty men of valor?
Why are they called Nephilim?

The bible talks about angels as being spiritual beings, although they sometimes take on human appearance when they appear to people.

The word sometimes translated as Nephilim has this entry in Strong's Concordance:

05303. n@phiyl [nef-eel ;] or n@phil [nef-eel ;] from 05307; properly, a feller, i.e. a bully or tyrant: giant.

Easton's Revised Bible Dictionary has this:

Nephilim

Ge 6:4 Nu 13:33 (R.V.), giants, the Hebrew word left untranslated by the Revisers, the name of one of the Canaanitish tribes. The Revisers have, however, translated the Hebrew gibborim, in Ge 6:4 "mighty men."

Doesn't answer my question.
If humans married humans what made their children unique?

It doesn't. Here are the verses again:

“Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” (Ge 6:1-2 NKJV)

Nothing about them coming down from heaven.
Jude 1:6
6And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

But were they really unique? In my previous post, I quoted two sources on the meaning of the word some translate as Nephilim, which includes bully or tyrant, giant and mighty men. Plenty of people in the bible are described as "mighty men" and "giants". By no means all were Nephilim. Goliath was a Philistine.

2 Samuel 21:20
20Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant.

Yes, Jude 1:6 talks of fallen angels, but I was answering a post from GodCrazy which said: "But it say they came down from heaven i.e fallen angels." That post was about Genesis 6.

Is this the extent of your research on the subject? I know what you’re referring to.

I have no doubt Crowley consorted with demonic forces, but I don't think the UFO/UAP phenomenon requires Crowley as an explanation. The US mystification with the occult or paranormal predates Crowley by decades, going back to the mid 19th century in the US.

Yes, and leaving their own abode, means they entered into ours.

Plenty of people in the bible are described as "mighty men" and "giants". By no means all were Nephilim. Goliath was a Philistine.
Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites. (It is noteworthy that his sarcophagus was made of iron. Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide according to standard measure.)

Yet another battle occurred in Gath. On that occasion there was a large man who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in all! He too was a descendant of Rapha.
21 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shimeah, killed him.
22 These four were the descendants of Rapha who lived in Gath; they were killed by David and his soldiers.
