No one person invented or developed the theory of paleomagnetism. Several different scientists contributed to the development of the theory of paleomagnetism.
Instead of just stating his own personal opinions John Dalton cited evidence to support his atomic theory. The giving of evidence - which could be proved or disproved by others - was what soon resulted in his theory being accepted by scientists.
Many scientists dismissed the theory because it flew in the face of conventional wisdom.

Real scientists do not "gather evidence in support of" any theory. The technical term for that kind of thing is "cherry-picking". Real scientists build a theory to explain the evidence that they have already gathered, and then test the theory to see whether it holds water. The easiest, fastest way to make sure that you are regarded as a wingnut by real scientists is to adopt or invent a theory, and then spend your time trying to prove it.
For their own benefits.

Scientists had made observations that did not fit exactly with Dalton's theory. Scientists changed the atomic theory to include this new knowledge. While the modern atomic theory is based on Dalton's theory, it is also very different.
Credit for the formulation of this theory is given to German scientists Theodor Schwann, Matthias Schleiden, and Rudolph Virchow.
if new evidence doesn't support a scientific theory, scientists will either revise the theory to accommodate the new evidence or discard the theory altogether in favor of a more accurate explanation. This process is crucial for the progress of science as it ensures that theories are continuously tested and refined to reflect our understanding of the natural world.
There was no evidence to prove it
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.
