Ya can't. You can compare judaism to other religions and show how judaism is MORE truthful than the others... but faith is called faith for a reason. You can't use science to prove torah.
But generally if a teen has issues, its deeper than just "I don't beleive."

Are you talking about a teen from a religious home or not?
In any case, Jews are maaminim bnei maaminim (believers, children of believers). You work with that premise in mind.
As for the true religion - if they believe that George Washington was a real person and that he was the first president of the US, simply because it says so in history books, then believing in G-d and Judaism and all that entails is far more compelling. Millions of Jews were at Sinai at Mattan Torah, and conveyed what happened to their descendents in an unbroken chain till today.

There's a fantastic tape out, I beleive it's Rabbi Mechanic called "Why be Jewish" Again, it doesn't neccessarily prove JUDIASM is correct, it proves that the other religions are incorrect. Looking at the wonders of science you realize that there must be a creator, a master plan. There's no other way to explain it.

There's a new sefer out (in English ) , that adresses just these questions, from KolMenachem, the ones who put out the Gutnick Chumash. It's compiled and edited by Rabbi Chaim Miller, and goes through many such issues and questions, and what the Lubavitcher Rebbe said on them, answered them. It was advertised on shmais, and I clicked on it. You can probably still find it there.
Here's some updated info from a flyer that I got.
WHAT EVERY JEW NEEDS TO KNOW!
An accessible guide to the Rebbe's teachings on the foundations of our faith
This volume addresses our belief in the Torah, including:*Proof that the Torah was given at Sinai
*How all future innovations were given to Moshe at sinai
*The accuracy of the Oral Tradition
*Why are there so many Rabbinic disputes?
*How contradictory truths can co-exist
*How halachah, the will of G-d can be fathomed by human beings
*Why the Torah will never be replaced.
*Changes to the Torah in the Messianic Era
*How to resolve contradictions between science and Torah
It is part of a new series on the thirteen principles of Faith of the RamBAM, and the subject of this current volume is principles VIII and IX
"with an anthology of commentaries from the Talmud, Midrash, Rishonim and Achronim, and elucidation from the works of the Lubavitcher Rebbe."
