if our thoughts and memories are chemical connections in our brain, and our bodies cells are always splitting at certain rates then at some point your brain would be new cells that didn’t have first hand experience with a particular memory or knowledge. How does the thought/idea/memory remain???

Memories, thoughts and ideas are stored in the brain through connections of different cells. These connections are constantly changing. They are independent of single cell replication / death.
Massive replication, as seen in brain cancer, starts to cause all sort of issues because the connections are disrupted. Same with massive cell death as with people with head trauma
