Common sense is not sitting there making counterintuitive guesses.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but how would "The sun revolves around the earth" be counter-intuitive? Given the fact that the sun appears to revolve around the earth, it's counter-intuitive to believe that it's the earth which moves (After all, we don't notice the fact that the earth is actualy moving through space at several thousand kilometers per hour) and the sun is stationary. Hence why it was 'common sense' that was geocentric theory was true and why Galileo was a nutjob

Common sense is a starting point, not a conclusion.

Common sense is, in essence, neither. It's an intellectual cop-out, almost like giving the argument "It's so because it is". There's no discussion to be had.

After you've allowed common sense to tell you that god makes no sense, you allow your rational and scientific mind to explore what does make sense.

Didn't you watch the video? If you did, you'd know just how not possible your statement is. Common sense and logical thinking simply don't mix.
