Quantum mechanics doesn't make much "common sense" to me.

Exactly -- which is why I'm open to having my "common sense"
overturned by more information. Regardless of what you may
think, I didn't provide "the answer I wanted" but only "my
speculation" which explains why I'm undecided for now.

BTW, this site:

http://www.well.com/user/davidu/extinction.html

quotes an article that at least admits that there is
some disagreemtent:

" Among the dissenters, some argue that there is not yet enough
data to support the view that a mass extinction is occurring. Many
of the estimates of species loss are extrapolations based on the
global destruction of rain forests and other rich habitats."
