Issues:
What data does the hypothesis of continental drift explain? What does it fail to explain?
What is the quality and certainty of the current evidence for drift?
What alternative theories also explain the available data?
How would continents "drift"? (Is this essential to accepting Wegener's idea?)
How should we treat conflicting data, especially if from different disciplines or different geographical regions?
