Because the earth was thought to be made by god, and it was perfect and no continental crusts. The existence of continental crusts is one of the many evidence that proved Pangaea to be a theory.
Also, the existence of the fossil records of the same species along the Coastlines of 2 different places confirms Pangea.
The current movements in earth's crust also provide evidence that Pangaea could have formed.
Most scientists were not given this data and therefore the evidence for Pangaea was vague. Only now has the evidence shown more consistency.
Science is skeptical my friend.
What else can I help you with?
Was pangaea the only supercontinent that ever existed?
No, Pangaea was not the only supercontinent that ever existed. Other supercontinents include Rodinia and Gondwana, which formed and broke apart over the Earth's history due to the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the huge continent scientist believe there was millions of years ago?
Pangea (or Pangaea) was a "supercontinent" that scientists believe incorporated almost all of the earth's landmasses. It began to break apart about 200 million years ago, and eventually the modern continents and Atlantic and Indian Oceans were formed.
How many stages do scientists hypothesis there are to pangaea?
Scientists hypothesize that there are two main stages to the formation of Pangaea: the assembly stage, during which the continents were moving closer together, and the breakup stage, when Pangaea began to split into separate continents.
What did scientists call the land mass that all the continents used to be in?
Scientists called the now separated land mass "Pangaea."
When did Pangaea spread apart?
Pangaea refers to the super continent that existed before each of the pieces eventually drifted apart into the seven continents that exist today. Scientists believe Pangaea broke apart 200 million years ago.
Did the entire world once consist of a single continent?
scientists believe that it did and it was called Pangaea
Was there pengea?
It is accepted by most scientists that there was a supercontinent called Pangaea.
What is the name give to describe the single huge continent that scientists believe once existed?
Pangaea.
What is the name of the next supercontinent theorized by scientists and mapped by Dr CR Scotese?
I believe its called Pangaea Ultima.
How did scienists react to pangaea?
scientists reacted differently around pangaea
What is the name of the huge super continent that scientists think once exited?
i believe that you are refering to Pangaea (pan-GEE-(short)a)

Was Pangaea the only supercontinent to have existed and why?
Pangea was the only supercontinent, which Wegner tried to prove. After Wegner died, scientists now believe that Pangea did exist and now believe that there was more than one supercontinent.
Many scientists believe a giant supercontinent once existed called?
The word Pangaea ( an American English word) means " All land" or " all of the earth". considered to be a supercontinent that the world of science called "Pangaea" a single landmass. Read : Pangaea facts on Earth History Geology. However the best reference would be the Bible as it is a letter from God for our teaching, according to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17. Here is what the first Book of the Bible, called "Genesis" has to say in chapter 1:2 " The earth was formless and desolate, and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep, and God's active force was moving about over the surface of the waters." Our planet was brought into existence by God's active force and according to verse 3 " God said: " let there be light." Then there was light from darkness. Verse 5 reads: " Gad called the light Day, but the darkness he called Night. And the first day was made. I suggest you read the whole chapter of Genesis 1. When were the sun, moon, and stars created? You may ask. The sun, moon, and stars already existed as part of " the heavens" created "in the beginning" by God, confirmed in Genesis 1: 1. However, their light evidently did not reach the earth's surface because of a dense atmosphere. Read Genesis 1: 2. So although diffused light became visible on the first day, the light source was not yet recognizable. On the fourth day, the atmosphere apparently cleared up. The Bible says that sun, moon, and stars now began to " shine upon the earth", evidently describing how they would have been seen from the perspective of an observer upon our planet Earth . Read Genesis 1: 17. Most scientists who agree that the univers had a beginning, can only have the perspective of an observer from earth, and not from someone who can observe the earth from above. That is why God who is in heaven could have the most accurate reality of how our planet was and was made. Here is what the biologist Patrick Shih says . " Our planet started with " an unbradthable atmosphere devoid of oxygen.... overall looking more like a science fiction landscape." Astronomy magasine reports: " New research suggests ancient Earth was a water world, with little to no land in sight." Which is the opposite of what is believed, with the description of the word " Pangaea" which is a single landmass. The biologist Patrick Shih version is more in harmony with what the Bible teaches.
Did Pangaea ever really exist?
Nobody really knows if Pangaea really existed. People believe it did because if you shift the continents, it looks like it could make Pangaea. There are many other reasons, but that is the most common.
