I would argue, scientifically, that anyone who has memories from a past life got them from DNA:

Id rather believe in something than believe in nothing.
I [realize] there is more to life than just material gain, but hey each to their own.

Even your "more to life" is material gain. If you cannot see enough reward in this life that you must seek it in another is greed.

Shame that so many duped believers in garbage such as a "past life" and psychic abilities have flagged this non story.
It's a shame that given the majority of ATS seemingly being theists, there's a laughably expectation that nonsense like this actually needs to be "debunked".
So debunk it then.

I look forward to reading your debunk.

You cannot debunk something that requires faith in order to believe in it! It is incumbent on the believer to show that there is more to it than faith. Some verifiable proof not anecdotes and stories with more holes than a swiss cheese.
Tell me this why do all the stories of re-incarnation involve an "interesting person" ie a murder, a famous person, kings queens etc etc The vast vast majority of people (99.99%) have ordinary lives so why dont we get a thousand tales about the toilet cleaners, the road sweepers, the dishwashers , the clerk , the housewife, house husband etc.
The answer is bleedin obvious to folks who don't believe in this........

Not necessarily. Your mother may be in heaven still. All this story (if true) shows that some of people stay behind after death.
And who to say that we won't ever have a reunion?
In the immortal words of Bill Hicks "Life is just a ride".
Life isnt about material gain, its about expanding consciousness as everything comes from consciousness. IMO
Before matter there could have only been consciousness that brought "material" into existence. Otherwise the universe has always existed, but yet the expansion of the universe doesnt support the constant state universe model.
If the universe had a beginning, then it had a cause, and a reason for coming into being and a CREATOR.
A creator not bound by the material laws of physics as we know them in this material universe. Which turns out is mostly empty space anyway.
Thats just logic. IMO.
I have thought about this deeply for years, and its the only logical conclusion I can provide.
If life was about material gain then why cant we take it with us when we die?
And to add, no need to correct my spelling it wasnt a mistake, Im english thats how we spell realise in english.

There was never any consciousness before material.
First law of thermodynamics - Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms. In any process, the total energy of the universe remains the same. For a thermodynamic cycle the net heat supplied to the system equals the net work done by the system.
When human consciousness becomes coherent, the behavior of random systems may change. Random number generators (RNGs) based on quantum tunneling produce completely unpredictable sequences of zeroes and ones. But when a great event synchronizes the feelings of millions of people, our network of RNGs becomes subtly structured. We calculate one in a trillion odds that the effect is due to chance. The evidence suggests an emerging noosphere or the unifying field of consciousness described by sages in all cultures.
So what caused the big bang? Because there was a beginning then at some point something from nothing came into existence. Now we know that you cant get something from nothing.

I used to think like that. But the thing with the Big Bang Theory is that NOTHING caused it. It is the WHOLE universe. The Big Bang theory never said that nothing came into existence. The universe is the existence itself.
If the universe had a beginning, then it had a cause. Its as simple as that. Something caused the universe to begin expanding(as discovered by Hubble) from its original singularity, the event horizon. That is cause and effect, caused by nothing. Energy from no energy. Something from nothing.
