Personally, I took up Buddhism in the first place because I found the 
teachings on kamma and rebirth attractive.

What I do find contrary to common-sense is any attempt to reduce the 
mind to the body. So for me these teachings are not at all 
problematic. I don't se such issues as within the purview of science.
