Including some kinds of illnesses that the Bible claims are evidences of sin, or punishment for sins

I am not sure but were the diseases refered to in the bible not genetic based but viral such as leprosy.
If you can show that any of the illnesses that jesus cured were genetically based and not viral or that the insanity he cured was from a genetic cause and not viral or social then you could try and relate sin and genetics,
But if all the illness are viral based or any case can be made that the illnesses cannot be proved to be genetic then your theory has a problem.

The real theist does not view sin as just an abstract concept but they believe it is something deeply rooted in human nature as a controlling influence that people must be saved from.Now science is going to save us from our wayward DNA deformities.

Would not the real theist consider that people should only be saved through there own prefered method of believing in god.
Any attempt by science to find a cure for illness (sin) would be taken as interference in their own way of doing this.
Once again we would have a situation where a belief that has no backing but faith is in opposition and will try to condemn a method of improving peoples lives through knowledge.
So I am saying, have you considered all the ramifications of supporting this arguement.
