No, it was not because they thought that he is an idiot.
Because it appeared to fit the facts as far as they could be ascertained (as with any theory).
When German meteorologist Alfred Wegener first published his theory on Pangea (super continent) he was widely ridiculed for it. Some of the reaction to his theory on continental shift and a super continent was actually quite hostile. The idea was first put forward in 1912 but it wasn't until the 1950's that his idea was really rethought. By then evidence of continental drift was starting to support his ideas.
It is commonly accepted that the continents have not always been in their current locations. They are thought to have all been part of a super continent known as Pangaea.
The Super Continent was called Pangaea.

The super continent was all the seven continents joined to Australia. This continent was larger than Asia .The continental drift has changed this super continent and now many think that Asia is the super continent but Gondwana will always be The Supercontinent. I am 12,not 32 ,12!
