Wegner could not identify a force that could move the continents
Because they felt like it!
Most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift since it did clearly explain continents would move. This is a theory that has been established by Wegener and did not get good support initially.
Because he could not explain how the continents moved.
Copernicus did not reject the idea that planetary orbits around our Sun were circular.

Alfred Wegener couldn't describe how the plate tectonics moved. So, scientists rejected his hypothesis.
Some scientists rejected the idea of continental drift because Alfred Wegener, who proposed the theory, lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. In addition, the scientific community at the time held onto the prevailing belief in static continents and were resistant to accepting a new paradigm. It wasn't until the development of plate tectonics in the 1960s that continental drift became widely accepted.
The continental drift hypothesis proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century was controversial because it challenged existing scientific beliefs about the stability of the Earth's crust and the concept of landmasses moving across the globe. Wegener's theory lacked a mechanism to explain how continents could move, which led many scientists to reject it until the discovery of plate tectonics in the 1960s provided a viable explanation.
