I only thing I get from that for sure is that she still wants her god
and a religion, that her parents want to be sure that she isn't looking
into wacko cults (for good reason), and that she has a hard time
believing the stuff she has been told about creation.
I would have many questions before I could answer her - the first one
being: "If you still believe in "God", but not the stories regarding
creation, what kind of god are you looking for?". If she really thinks
about that question, it' shouldn't be long til she realizes that she is
just creating the god she needs instead of worshiping one she actually
thinks exists. I would treat it like a problem solving situation. If we
can find out what she wants from her god, I am sure we can point her to
something close to what she is looking for. At her age though, I would
not trample on her god, she's looking for help and objectivity. That you
can give her.
good luck.
