Common sense it not even common, nor is it automatically correct.
You're dead right!
EVIDENCE THAT 'COMMON-SENSE' IS NOT COMMON
Common-sense would indicate that: -
a) Dumping pollution by the gigatonne into the atmosphere is a bad idea!
b) Science has more to tell us about global warming and its dangers than the propaganda of the fossil-fuel companies.
c) The best approach to GW is to use the precautionary one. Listen to the scientists, promote & invest in technologies to reduce waste [energy conservation, increased efficiency]. Discourage & penalise or prohibit polluting industries. Invest in low carbon energy sources. Investigate carbon sequestration and other technologies.
d) We shouldn't listen to the siren voices of the fossil-fuel industries, even when they conceal the source, by channeling it via some 'independent' Washington-DC organization.
e) Science has more to tell us about the origins of life and the universe, than religious scriptures dating back to the bronze-age.
f) In the age of science, that belief in an invisible god, like a surveillance camera in the sky is deluded!
g) The 'Riddle [or paradox] of Epicurus' suggests that all omnipotent, caring gods are standing on shaky ground.
EVIDENCE THAT COMMON-SENSE' IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY CORRECT
Look at quantum theory! It's predictions are not 'common-sense', but it's predictions are proof that it is correct!
