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!
Yes, scientists still believe in the cell theory today because it is a well-established and widely accepted principle in biology. The cell theory states that all living organisms are composed of cells, and all cells come from pre-existing cells through cell division.
The theory of relativity is accepted by scientists because it has been extensively tested through experiments and observations, and it has consistently provided accurate predictions that have been confirmed. It also provides a more comprehensive and accurate description of gravity, spacetime, and the behavior of objects at high speeds compared to classical physics.
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.
For their own benefits.

Scientific theory
It depends, because some might say 'scientists'. But not all scientists believe in this theory. Also, there are those who believe in a similar idea to the Big Bang, but it is not refered to as 'The Big Band Theory.'
False
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
Research and development in the field of unified field theory is ongoing, with scientists working to find a single theoretical framework that can explain all fundamental forces of nature. Progress has been made, but a complete and universally accepted theory has not yet been achieved. Scientists continue to explore different approaches and theories in the quest for a unified understanding of the fundamental forces of the universe.
