Why was Alfres Wegener's hypothesis rejected?
Alfred Wegener's theory was rejected because he could not prove how the continents actually moved. He showed evidence of fossils from Africa and South America, but still coul not prove the convection surrents going on underground. Other geologists did not believe in his theory just because he was a meteorologist, not a geologist like themselves.

What do scientist believe the order of the Stonehenge was used for?

Is Alfred wegener a theory?
Scientists still do not appear to understand sufficiently that all earth sciences must contribute evidence toward unveiling the state of our planet in earlier times, and that the truth of the matter can only be reached by combing all this evidence. ... It is only by combing the information furnished by all the earth sciences that we can hope to determine 'truth' here, that is to say, to find the picture that sets out all the known facts in the best arrangement and that therefore has the highest degree of probability. Further, we have to be prepared always for the possibility that each new discovery, no matter what science furnishes it, may modify the conclusions we draw.- Alfred L. WegenerThe Origins of Continents and Oceans
How does Darwin's theory of evolution differ from what scientist believe today?
Darwin's theory of evolution as proposed in "On the Origin of Species" does not differ from what scientists have discovered. The ongoing work still proves the theory today.Bearing in mind that Darwin, and all others, did not know anything about genetics at the time he was writing, it is remarkable that he was able to propose the theory along with Alfred Russel Wallace at the time.
Do you think that scientists still believe the cell theory today?
Of course they do. Scientists believe anything that they think is true.
How can a rejected hypothesis be of value to a scientist?
the reason why a rejected hypothesis can still be of value to a scientist is because that secific hyothesis may not work for your experiment but it could work for a different experiment/theory

No, most scientists still believe in it, if that's what you mean.
Who thought of the continental drift?
Alfred Wegener was the first person to fully develop a theory that all the continents of the world were once part of the same giant landmass (or supercontinent) called Pangea; which broke apart with the constituent parts drifting away from one another and arriving at their current locations. This drift is still occurring today and some scientists believe that the continents will eventually recombine to form another supercontinent called Pangaea ultima.
How was the big boom created?
The Big Bang theory is that all the substance in space collected together and had a catastophic explosion in space and through that all the galaxies and planets and etc. formed in space. Alot of scientist and athiest believe in this theory to explain how everything came to be. But i still say God had a part with it. First of all, this theory can be proven wrong by me in one simple step...the fact that an explosion needs air to explode proves this theory false because there is no air in space... so congradulation scientist, you have just been proven wrong by a freshman in high-school!
If evolution is widely accepted by scientist then why is it still a theory?
This is a common misconception. A theory is an idea that has been proven over and over through time and through many experiments, Such as the theory of gravity: The media usually confuses this with a Hypothesis, which would explain your confusion.
