Why didn't others think that Wegener findings constituted evidence?

Nobody believed Wegener's theory because it wasn't likely that continental drift was the explanation of why the plates had seperated.

Why did Alfred Wegener get criticism?
1) Most scientists did not believe Wegener's theory and thought it was foolish.] Some critics thought the old theories of giant land bridges could explain the similarities among fossils in South America and Africa. Others argued that Wegener's theory did not explain the forces that would have been needed to move continents to such great distances. Wegener thought that the forces that moved the continents could be the same forces that made earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What key evidence did Alfred Wegener use to support his hypothesis of continental drift?
Alfred Wegener's fully developed theory of continental drift attempted to point out evidences that the continents were once joined into a single continent he called Pangea. Wegener's theory hypothesized that the continents were able to push through the rock of the seafloor to their present positions. As evidence, he noted, as had others before him, of the geographic correlation in coastline perimeters of South America and Africa. This was the feature that led Wegener to investigate for other evidences. His investigations revealed that mountain ranges in South America and Africa, and strata and composition of coal fields in Europe and North America matched or lined up. Additionally, matching reptilian fossils were found on either side of the ocean, indicating that the continents were once joined together. Although he was unable to find a mechanism for his proposed continental drift theory, he also observed that the more shallow an ocean, the younger its geologic age. It wasn't until the 1950's and 1960's, with the discovery of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and other sea floor mapping discoveries that Wegener's hypothesis started to become more accepted. The newer science of plate tectonics owes much to Wegener's scientific groundwork.

So far there has been no evidence that it is contagious to others.
What is one of the major reasons that psychologists report results publicly?
One major reason that psychologists report results publicly is to contribute to the body of knowledge in their field. By sharing their findings, psychologists can help advance understanding and research in psychology for the benefit of other researchers, practitioners, and the public.
