There are many facets to this debate. It is not clear what position you are arguing from. Judging by the opposition's comments, it seems you are arguing from the Muslim stance. Admittedly, I have no experience arguing that position. However, I may have a few tips for you.
Read up on intelligent design.
If you are a Qur'an literalist, it would be hard to find scripture that is not dismissive in nature and will support an argument that agrees with science.
If you are not a literalist, I would suggest looking for scripture that shows the Qur'an is in agreement with science, but not on evolution, keeping in mind that much of what is written is metaphor.
Lastly, I wish to caution you. Turning a blind eye toward science because it disagrees with certain passages from religious texts is downright dangerous. In most cases, rejecting evolution also means rejecting parts of physics, chemistry, geology, et cetera. Remember the bottom line: if God is almighty, as defined by The Bible, Qur'an, et al., then God can can create the universe and life any way He wishes, including a Big Bang and evolution. Do not simply dismiss or ignore science.
