His "evidence" was the jigsaw fit of the continents.

Abraham Ortelius, a 16th-century cartographer, provided evidence for his theory of continental drift primarily through the observation of the jigsaw-like shapes of the continents, particularly how the coastlines of South America and Africa fit together. He also noted similarities in the geological features and fossil records across different continents, which suggested they had once been connected. His work, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," compiled maps that illustrated these connections, laying the groundwork for later theories of plate tectonics. However, it's important to note that Ortelius's ideas were not widely accepted until much later, as the mechanisms behind continental movement were not understood in his time.
He took his son to the mountain because God told him to. It was a test to see if Abraham would obey God. Once there, God told Abraham to kill Isaac. As Abraham was about to kill Isaac, God said "Stop, you have proven yourself to me"!
Abraham offered up Isaac on Mount Moriah, as recounted in the Bible in the Book of Genesis.

Abraham Ortelius was a cartographer and mapmaker who is known for creating the first modern atlas in 1570 called "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". His evidence was based on compiling information from various sources, including explorers' reports, travelers' journals, and existing maps, to create a comprehensive and accurate representation of the world known at that time. Ortelius's atlas was groundbreaking in its use of a uniform scale and design, which set a new standard for mapmaking.
Continental drift
They didnt accept it
Abraham Ortelius felt that at one time the continents all fit together to form one continent he called Pangaea.
