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.
the continents fit the locations on the mountain ranges the congruent types of rocks and the same fossil exists on different continents. Hope this helped. :)
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
Fossil records, land forms(mountains,ect), weather and climate
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.
The continents appear to have once fit together (like South America and Africa). Also, there were similar fossils found on different continents.

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.

When Pangaea was in existence, the main animals were reptiles and amphibians. During this time, birds developed also.

The evidence that supports wegeners hypothesis is the fossil evidence
There are no commonly accepted opposing scientific views on plate tectonics or the existence of the supercontinent Pangaea.
