The case against pangea
First… it’s important to understand that this is the most profound disagreement in all of science in a century and a half… and, even so, it is the tip of the iceberg, the ramifications of this disagreement will change everything we know in science, top to bottom.
To begin with basic stuff.
All science knows…
The earth has two crusts. One…the mostly basalt lower crust or the oceanic crust which is 2 – 4 miles deeper down than the higher upper continental crust. This lower crust, essentially covers the Earth. It … this crust is being made daily at rift cracks that snake around the earth’s mid- oceans. But how could all these rifts continually spread apart…without the Earth growing? Ah….that is the question….isn’t it?

the obvious conclusion that Rodinia and Pangea happened at the same time on a smaller Earth

Yes. Many times.
One word debunks it: Rodinia
How could the continents have previously been joined in a different configuration, before breaking up and then recombining into Pangea?

So presumable there were multiple continents? 2 Balticas. 2 Siberias. 2 Amazonias etc etc. Oh, and presumable all dating methods are wrong as well?
Neal Adam's hypothesis is based on a very limited knowledge of Earth's history. He's unaware of Earth history before Pangea and thus ignores it. If his theory is correct, the Earth didn't expand at all for the first 4,250,000,000 years of it's existence! (Since Pangea only began breaking up 250 million year ago)
How does his theory explain England and Scotland once being parts of different continents before they collided as the Iapetus Ocean closed up? Oops, it can't. It can't explain a huge mass of geological evidence.
The other problem is that there's no mechanism for expansions and as far as we know, you can't create matter out of nothing, so where as all the extra mass come from?
Read a proper geology textbook. Then re-read Adams' hypothesis ......

Ha ha ha, Thats Rodinia. Terrible theory, makes no sense. lol. nice.
Occums Razor.

Since we dont have a time machine,Pangea is a theory too, a flawed one aswell.
People thought the earth was flat and fought to the death to hold on to that lunacy.
Thats his whole basis of his theory. Pangea is BUNK, so i am sure he is aware of Pangea and didnt ignore it at all.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?! England and scotland are highlands and the lowlands have been submerged since 8000 b.c. Conclusion: They are the same continent.
I recommend you pick up an atlas and a geography book.
Who said it did that?
DO you think the universe just appeared in its present state?
all ready for habitation, full of trees with pretty oceans and beaches... ummm
