fossils continents look like puzzle pieces (which means Coastlines match up) rock samples that's bout it...
You can't prove a negative with direct evidence.
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
There definitively was a Pangaea. Pangaea implies one continent. Back when the earth was forming, there was no oceans, thus the whole earth would be referred to as Pangaea. Today continents would refer to how much land is above the ocean.
Because the earth was thought to be made by god, and it was perfect and no continental crusts. The existence of continental crusts is one of the many evidence that proved Pangaea to be a theory. Also, the existence of the fossil records of the same species along the coastlines of 2 different places confirms Pangea. The current movements in earth's crust also provide evidence that Pangaea could have formed. Most scientists were not given this data and therefore the evidence for Pangaea was vague. Only now has the evidence shown more consistency. Science is skeptical my friend.
Continental Fit, Fossil Evidence and Sea floor Spreading. I just did this in science a month ago. :)

Evidence to prove the existence of the supercontinent Pangaea includes fossil evidence of similar plant and animal species across continents, the matching shapes of coastlines and mountain ranges on different continents, and the distribution of ancient rock formations that line up when continents are fitted together. Additionally, geological evidence such as rock layers and paleoclimatic data also supports the theory of Pangaea's existence.

Fossil records, land forms(mountains,ect), weather and climate
The person who made the theory for Pangaea was Wegener Alfred made in 1910. Also, for more information type in goggle: Wegener's Evidence Booklet. Hope it helped you.
The preponderance of physical evidence supports the concept that all the continents were once united in a single land mass. This makes Pangaea more of a fact than a belief.
