Accumulating data, especially proof of sea floor spreading.
Did you mean Plate Tectonics Theory? - Plate Tectonics Theory is the combination of Continental Drift and Ocean/Sea Floor Spreading. BTW. The scientist who started it is Howard Baker continued by Alfred Wegener.

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.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift at the beginning of the 20th century. His idea was that the Earth's continents were once joined together, but gradually moved apart over millions of years. The idea was rejected at first as he was a Meteorologist and not regarded as a proper scientist.

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.
Alfred Wegener did not have the "HOW" factor- because of no evidence on the process, they could not believe his theory.

why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
The theory of plate tectonics was developed through the contributions of several scientists, including Alfred Wegener, who proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. Later research by Harry Hess and Robert Dietz provided evidence for seafloor spreading, leading to the development of the modern plate tectonics theory in the 1960s.
Alfred Wegener was a meteorologist who introduced the theory of continental drift.
Many geologists and scientists at the time made fun of Alfred Wegener's Drift Theory, dismissing it as implausible and unscientific. Wegener's theory of continental drift proposed that the continents were once connected and drifted apart over time, which was not widely accepted until much later when the theory of plate tectonics was formulated.
Alfred Wegener's full name is "Alfred Lothar Wegener", and he is a German scientist who came up with the theory of Continental Drift.

Alfred Wegener started the search which then caused scientists to start the search. They eventually proved his theory.
