Brother, evolution is a fact. It happens. Denying it will not make it go away.
This is why we need to get a flu vaccine every year; the previous strain has evolved.
You can also see this on a more macro scale, one of the more famous examples being beak sizes of the finches on the Galapagos Islands.(this is an example of evolution via natural selection)
Also, I'm sure any biology major can explain to you about their fruit fly lab.(this is an example of evolution via artificial selection)

Anyway, denying evolution just makes us seem ignorant.
Trying to make it sound as if Islam refutes evolution or is against it just shakes the faith of Muslims when undeniable evidence is presented to them that it is a fact.
What we need to do is better understand it: understand that there is a lack of evidence that evolution will lead a fish to stop being a fish, that evolution cant account for sight or the complexities of the eye, how evolution cant account for the complexities of the protein molecule, etc.
Start asking these types of questions and disbelievers start fumbling at ridiculous answers.
For example they'll tell you that the eye was formed because an animal developed a light sensitive mole that was somehow beneficial enough to get passed to the next generation, then, as this trait was passed generation after generation, that mole eventually got connected directly to the brain somehow, and then the animal eventually started being able to tell whether there is light in a general direction or not, then eventually the brain and eye developed the ability to interpret this incoming light and eventually this became the eye and vision we know today. It is a preposterous theory from beginning to end.
