Because the landmasses are joined with little degree of separation, then in terms of physical geography, Europe and Asia are a single continent, called Eurasia.
However, Europe and Asia are two different socio-political continents, ie, they are divided like that because the people who lived there have decided it to be that way.
So in one way, it is one continent, and in another way, it is two.
Europe and Asia have always been politically seperated throughout history, so the two are considered different continents. (7 continents in the world, politically; 4 continents in the world physically: America[s], Eurafrasia[Afroeurasia], Australia, and Antarctica)

The Continental Divide between Europe and Asia is represented by the Ural Mountains, a natural barrier, which extends from the Arctic Ocean down to Kazakhstan.

Europe and Asia are split for political and historical reasons, as well as some obvious ethnic differences.
