""Common sense" does not trump actually looking at the evidence..."

Evidence??? The "lack" of fossil evidence is an 800 Pound Gorilla that "die hard" Evolutionist's cannot shake. "Theory" my friend... We are debating "Theory". Evolution is a long ways away from being "fact". Wasn't too long ago that "science" insisted the world was flat and that "Earth" was the center of the universe...

You can't make this ludicrously ignorant claim true by stamping your feet and holding your breath until you turn blue.

"Theory" my friend... We are debating "Theory". Evolution is a long ways away from being "fact".

Which puts it in the same boat as galactic astronomy theory, plate tectonics theory, universal gravitational theory, and atomic theory. When was the last time you saw a continent drift?

Wasn't too long ago that "science" insisted the world was flat and that "Earth" was the center of the universe...

Science, in any analytic form remotely like it is now, never made any such claim.

This is untrue.

These two ideas were widely believed by everyone by default until genuine scientists citing evidence proposed the now accepted theories of a spheroidally shaped Earth orbiting the Sun over the objections of the religious faithful citing strict interpretation of "infallible" Bible verses.
