"Common sense" says the the Earth is flat and the Sun revolves around it. Don't rely too much on common sense, especially when close attention to the evidence indicates that things aren't quite as simple as "common sense" might indicate.
Case in point:
to see that water doesn't run uphill
"Doesn't", eh? As in never? You're obviously unfamiliar with hydraulic ram pumps, whereby water flowing horizontally forces a fraction of itself to flow up a pipe to an elevation higher than its original source.
No external energy is required, the water itself drives its own continuous motion uphill.
But wait, you whine, that's only because of some human's "intelligent design" in configuring the pump, right? Sorry, but there are natural hydraulic ram pumps, such as the Halona Blow Hole.
and neither does evolution
You might want to read the links in post #158 in order to correct your ignorance with regards to what evolution actually can and does do.
Then again, maybe you're quite comfortable with it.
