Continental drift is the process whereby Earth's continents very slowly move around the globe. Continental movement was first proposed by creationist Antonio Snider in 1859[1], then later by Alfred Wegener in the 1930s, but the idea wasn't widely accepted until the 1960s[1]. It had long been noticed that some continents seem to fit together like a jigsaw, especially the west coast of Europe and Africa and the east coasts of the Americas, but it was Snider who first proposed the idea that the continents had actually moved, and he did so based partly on the account in Genesis 1:9-10 .[1]
