in the world and nature we live, sharing experiences, there is huge amount of anecdotal evidence of remembering past or other lives, especially by children but not only. Remembering other lives cannot readily be tested and repeated in physics lab, obviously, but there are loads of verifications of the memories also by other sources. How that anecdotal evidence should be interpreted from the point of view of natural sciences, is another matter.
So what is "clearly true" to you is so from a materialist point of view, as there is no reason to assume that nature is limited to materialistic assumptions.
