The matching coastlines of the continents of Alfred Wegener was not seen as serious as it was not a real proof of anything, and it also was very limited.

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener is the person that developed and promoted the continental drift theory. His theory was based around numerous evidence, and while some of those evidence were good indicators on their own, some were not, and they  were not good enough on their own.

One of the evidence were the matching coastlines of the continents. This on its own wasn't good enough evidence, as it could have easily been just a coincidence that some coastlines match. Also, this was based on the matching coastlines of only two continents, Africa (its western part) and South America (its eastern part). The other continents didn't seemed to have matching coastlines as these two, which was just another reason for the other scientists to claim that it is a coincidence.

Some of the other evidence that Wegener used for his theory were:

  • fossils
  • mid-ocean ridge (spreading zones)
  • matching rock strata from different continents
