To me it almost seems like it isn't referring to humans. I am a Christian and confused by this chapter.

God the daddy God the Son God the Holy Spirit The Trinity. One being, 3 factors. only like you: You the body, You the nature (or soul), You the existence rigidity. A Human Trinity, made in only like God. Separate any between the three from the different 2, and also you stop to exists. yet interior the case of people, that are a lot less sensible, a lot less able, a lot less versatile than God, the separation is geographical to boot as non secular. God CAN exist if the actual body of Jesus is destroyed, or perhaps dies, and the Holy Spirit may be left in the back of even even as Jesus leaves.

It is not referring to humans. It is referring to angels. A very educated Christian will tell you that humans aren't actually referred to as the sons or daughters of God. Read the Wikipedia article about Nephilim and you will learn more about it.

Sons of God refers to mankind's lineage to God.
Adam was the Son of God. Luke 3:38
When man turned from God towards the lusts of the flesh they sought the Daughters of Man. They should have had a spiritual relationship with God and married the Daughters of God.

Being we are all "children of God", being the sons of God would imply those men who follow God's laws, teachings, and instructions. The chapter 6 you refer to talks of the "daughters of men" and the sons of God as follows: 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughter of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Further into the chapter God becomes discontent with the wickness of man, the evilness of his heart, and so on, I think implying that once joined, they become less follows of God and more followers of their own evil. What do you think?

I think an even more interesting line in Genesis is that the sons of Giants married the daughters of men.
Mythology, anyone?

The Hebrew here is b'nai Elohim. It is literally sons of the gods. I sincerely believe that these were beings from another planet that came to earth, and inter-bred with human women. I believe they were evil, or demonic in nature.

That specific phrase is used in Job, it says that all the sons of God came to the throne room to report what they were doing. It includes both angels and demons, even the devil himself.

It is referring to humans. The godly line of Seth with the ungodly line of Cain.

We are all sons of God since God created all things.
