Most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift since it did clearly explain continents would move. This is a theory that has been established by Wegener and did not get good support initially.

Scientists rejected Wegener's theory of continental drift initially because he did not have a plausible mechanism to explain how the continents moved. Additionally, at the time, there was insufficient evidence to support his hypothesis. It was only later, with the development of plate tectonics theory, that Wegener's idea gained widespread acceptance.
Alfred Wegener
The continental drift theory is the theory that once all of the continents were joined in a super-continent, which scientists call Pangaea. Over a vast period of time, the continents drifted apart to their current locations.

Scientists treat all theories the same way, popular or not. They will reject any theory if evidence appears which contradicts it.

because he had no evidence that the plates had moved so nobody belevied him
Alfred Wegner originally thought of the continental drift theory, but he wasn't believed when he presented it. After his death (of course) the theory was proved.
yes becouse wenger is not geologist and he could not explain the how continental drift theory
