Alfred Wegener was thought to be a fool because he claimed the continents were once joined together. People thought: How could solid rock move across the oceans?

Why were James Hutton and Alfred Wegener considered foolish?

James Hutton and Alfred Wegener were not considered foolish; in fact, they were both respected geologists who made significant contributions to their field. Hutton is known as the father of modern geology for his theory of uniformitarianism, while Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, which laid the foundation for the modern theory of plate tectonics. Both scientists faced initial skepticism but their ideas were eventually accepted and are now fundamental to our understanding of the Earth's processes.
