[B]Andya, I'm currently reading Behe and all he talks about is common sense so just look for books that violate common sense and you've found it. [/QUOTE]
It violates common sense that the Earth is spinning really quickly, and it violates common sense that the Earth is flat, but this doesn't mean that the Earth doesn't spin or that the Earth isn't a sphere.
Many, many, many things in nature go against our "common sense". That's why the scientific method was developed; to compensate for our human limitations and tendencies to be misled by our notions of "common sense".

"We will still have perfect freedom to hold contrary views of our own, but to simply
close our minds to the knowledge painstakingly accumulated by hundreds of thousands
of scientists over long centuries is to deliberately decide to be ignorant and narrow-
minded."
-Steve Allen, from "Dumbth"
