Where do you get these ideas from? It doesn't say any such thing. According to scripture we're going to be living on a new earth in physical bodies. Everything we do will be an act of worship of God. If you want to make statements about what the bible says, why don't you read it first.

It probably does not survive. After all, if a soul exists, why do people get Alzheimer's disease? Are you saying that a brain that is dead has better memory recall than a brain that is diseased? Where, ultimately, are our memories stored? If not our brains, then where? Or, are you saying that you are going to be some "memory-less soul" when you are dead?
If there is a spiritual "us" that is supernatural, then it can preserve the memories. If I can accept a soul, then I can easily accept that it would contain the memories of my life as well. What it really comes down to is whether or not there is a supernatural existence that doesn't follow natural laws. If you're not open to a supernatural existence and only can think according to natural laws, then you really can't come to an understanding of something that is beyond nature.
