Noah was also himself "large human" so no wonder we find Nephilim on the Earth AFTER the flood -- Noah was Nephilim.
only Noah and his 7 other family members cross over from pre-flood to post-flood and scripture says there were Nephilim before the flood and afterwards. Noah and his family of 8 are the only humans to cross over - so Noah and his family were Nephilim. That is how biology works.
1. All Bible scholars admit that the Bible teaches that only Noah and his family get on the boat.
2. Most Bible scholars admit that the Bible teaches that the only link between preflood humans and post-flood humans is Noah's family.
3. All Bible scholars admit that the Bible describes Nephilim as existing both before the flood and afterwards.
Gen 6:4 says this -- as all Bible scholars know
Gen 6:4 There were
giants 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.
All Bible scholars admit to these texts being in the actual Bible

Matthew Henry -
Gen 6:2
- 2. Mixed marriages (v. 2): The sons of God (that is, the professors of religion, who were called by the name of the Lord, and called upon that name), married the daughters of men, that is, those that were profane, and strangers to God and godliness. The posterity of Seth did not keep by themselves, as they ought to have done, both for the preservation of their own purity and in detestation of the apostasy. They intermingled themselves with the excommunicated race of Cain: They took them wives of all that they chose.But what was amiss in these marriages?
- (1.) They chose only by the eye: They saw that they were fair, which was all they looked at.
- (2.) They followed the choice which their own corrupt affections made: they took all that they chose, without advice and consideration. But,
- (3.) That which proved of such bad consequence to them was that they married strange wives, were unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Co. 6:14. This was forbidden to Israel, Deu. 7:3, 4. It was the unhappy occasion of Solomon's apostasy (1 Ki. 11:1-4), and was of bad consequence to the Jews after their return out of Babylon, Ezra 9:1, 2. Note, Professors of religion, in marrying both themselves and their children, should make conscience of keeping within the bounds of profession. The bad will sooner debauch the good than the good reform the bad. Those that profess themselves the children of God must not marry without his consent, which they have not if they join in affinity with his enemies.
Commentary by ROBERT JAMIESON
CHAPTER 6
Gen 6:1-22. WICKEDNESS OF THE WORLD.
2. the sons of God saw the daughters of men--By the former 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.
