And sins are like viruses or bugs in a biological computer which can 'corrupt' the soul if they accumulate too much.
(But we can also delete them by asking for forgiveness).
In this post, I briefly explained how the whole universe may be a quantum computer. So, I think that there is also computational nature behind sins. They are information about our lives which can be stored, retrieved, or deleted from our souls. However, this is just my own philosophical view of "sin" and thus I'm aware that could be wrong. I don't even think that there is any way to test it.
"Quantity"? Care to quantify that? Sin is entirely unlike the other two you mentioned in that one group of things can be demonstrated to exist, the other cannot. Invisible unicorns are a bit like waffles (I can do it too). I won't even touch forgiveness because it depends not only upon the existence of an as yet unproven thing called sin, but also an elaborate (and similarly unproven) heavenly machinery as a mechanism. You link articles promoting science and then tack on unverifiable hypothesis as if the two belong together. Could be wrong is probably an understatement.
There's a reason that classical apologetics doesn't work. Not for god, not for sin, nothing. No matter where you begin or how many links between there and god, at some point you are forced to abandon everything you have referenced and defer to faith. The chain is broken, in every direction.
