It was Wegener, and 1) he had no idea why it was happening nor what could power it. 2) his idea of the rate of spread was way too high. & 3) He wasn't credentialed.
The idea was only rejected initially (along with continental drift, where it originated), because there was no explanation as to why/how the continents would have split up and drifted apart from the super continent Pangaea. This was of course before it was discovered that continents "float" on magma that spreads out in opposite directions at fissures in the earth's mantle.

Reject, Transfer, Compensate
Pragmatic people do. Also climate scientists, scientists in general, and for that matter most of the general public. Even in the US, the one industrial nation which has the lowest rate of acceptance of general scientific findings for some odd reason, about 70% are currently convinced global warming is real.
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.
Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.
because he had no evidence that the plates had moved so nobody belevied him
Scientists treat all theories the same way, popular or not. They will reject any theory if evidence appears which contradicts it.
yes
It means there is no reason why he should reject it, whether because there is no evidence to the contrary or because an experiment set up to test it affirmed that hypothesis.

Perhaps you meant "Wegener's ideas".

Evidence is data from an experiment which is used to verify or reject the original hypothesis in the conclusion. Evidence is gathered through the scientific method.

They rejected Wegener's theory for half a century because he could not identify the cause of continental drift.
