Most of the arguments your opponent will come up for man being evil you should be able to turn into selfish and destructive, but there is usually a motive that is far from evil in every bad thing man does. True evil is an unusual strain, people are locked away from everyone else in prisons or hospitals if they are found to be doing things truly evil, and basically studied. If man was evil, we would not see it as some sort of personality defect resulting in being isolated and sactioned.
