Hi:

I think its case closed, once we think 99,99% of people cant remember even the first years of their lives.

Hi: I might be wrong, but i think you are talking about a story of Moggallana, not Sariputta. In that story Moggallana with the divine eye saw that X tribe defeated Y tribe in battle, and talked about this. Some monks thought he was lying because that battle was far away, but the Buddha told them it...
