Reply to comment by Super_Silky 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

*disclaimer, I’m not an evolution denier. I’m not convinced Chesterton was either. I think he just liked trolling scientists and philosophers sometimes.
