Reply to comment by KypDurron in TIL a German scientist named Alfred Wegener was ridiculed in 1912 for advancing the idea that the continents were adrift. Ridiculed as having “wandering pole plague.” or “Germanic pseudo-science” and accused Wegener of toying with the evidence to spin himself into “a state of auto-intoxication." by Hot----------Dog

There was evidence he presented that showed it was happening, he just couldn't provide a how. That's a far cry from "absolutely nothing to back up your claim".
