Yes, there was significant resistance to Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift when he proposed it in the early 20th century. Many geologists and scientists of the time were skeptical because Wegener could not provide a convincing mechanism for how continents could move. His ideas challenged the prevailing geological paradigms, leading to criticism and rejection from the scientific community until the development of plate tectonics in the mid-20th century provided the necessary framework to support his concepts.
