Wegner's theory was not accept because he didn't have much evidence to support his theory with and scientists thought that there might have been a land bridge between the continents. Another reason to why his theory was rejected was that he was a foreigner, by that; the scientists didn't really take him seriously.
Scientific theory
Since the determination of the fact that Earth is spherical as opposed to flat, all scientists (after a short lag period) have accepted that it is so.
Scientists treat all theories the same way, popular or not. They will reject any theory if evidence appears which contradicts it.
scientists back then didn't want to belive that the earths plates could move on there own
Because all of the observations and evidence are used for support.
It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
Like all accepted scientific theories, there is a general consensus amongst scientists across the world that there is enough evidence from observation and experimentation to support it.
Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory has subsequently been honed by scientific discoveries to the more all-inclusive plate tectonic theory which is generally accepted by earth scientists.
It was called Pangaea. His theory was that once all the countries were a big puzzle and and the contents were one big county.
No, not all theories are accepted or rejected. The acceptance or rejection of a theory depends on the evidence supporting it, how well it explains a phenomenon, and its ability to make accurate predictions. Some theories are widely accepted, while others may be rejected or revised based on new evidence or alternative explanations.
For their own benefits.

brownian motion was accepted early on, but his special and general theories of relativity, and his theory regarding quanta took longer to be accepted by all.
the central motivation of all humans is to belong and be accepted by others
