If you were to teach that to that bunch of 17yos, how would you put that?

I assume you are talking about the teens mentioned in your earlier post to Tesla:

What has this to do with if God should be taught in
school? What do you mean by teaching God? I kind of see 15 yos rolling eyes and sigh here...
Well, first of all, let’s realize that sighing and eye rolling is not limited to school kids, for there are plenty of crusty old materialists on forums such as this who not only roll their eyes when it comes to the topic of God, but also mess their Depends.
Anyway, as to your question,...
(and keeping in mind that this “searching for God in a classroom” business was Tesla's idea and not mine)
...I would present it as is - as a theory (with support material, of course) while trying to dodge the spitballs and rotten tomatoes.
What else would I do?

First of all you would have to make it understandable.
I acknowledge that my ideas are highly speculative and difficult to believe (impossible for some), and may indeed be completely wrong.
However, in what way are they not understandable to you?
I mean, look once again at the illustration...
...in combination with this illustration...
...and then realize that what it all very simply suggests is that:
1. We are each a familial replication of the living creative source of the universe, and...
2. We momentarily exist “in utero,” so to speak, as the “fetuses” of said source, and...
3. We are each imbued with the same creative potential as that source - a potential that will be fully revealed at the moment of death.
Easy-peasy.
(My apologies to Tesla for cluttering up his thread with my overused illustrations. It’s just that employing them in these endlessly recurring arguments helps me in making my points.)
