According to the Baptiststhese and all the other bad guys were utterly destroyed by God during the flood, rather than just drowned, hence the lack of humanoid remains in strata contemporary with all the fossils of extinct beasts.

it appears to mean "Fallen Ones,"there are various early writings about what they actually were, "offspring of angels and humans" being one theory, the other that they were entirely human and that "sons of God" oughtn't be taken literally. The Roman Catholic Church maintains the latter view, I think.
