The world in our normal experience appears to be very solid. Continents do not appear to be moving. If you do not understand that continental plates float on the magma beneath, it would seem to be ridiculous that anything as large and heavy and solid as a continent could move at all.
What else can I help you with?

Why do you think people didn't believe continental drift?
If you ask me it's because they wer a bunch of arogant "scientists" who didn't have a clue what they were talking about and hated being wrong. Just like with Galileo. They could have been scarred to accept things like that. I don't believe in it though... :) De Nada

What does provide evidence for continental drift?
Is there a list? Continental drift is real, so religious fanatics don't provide evidence for continental drift.
What did scientist believe before Continental Drift?
Before the theory of Continental Drift was widely accepted, scientists believed in the concept of stationary continents. They thought that the continents were fixed in place and did not move over time. This idea was known as the theory of continental permanence.
