Despite the heated debate amon evolutionists and Creationists, the two ideas are very similar.

Later on, the key role of natural selection was also recognised in other fields, and the Modern Synthesis was enriched by a second confluence of disciplines. This extension was realised by various authors, in particular by Theodosius Dobzhansky (1937), Ernst Mayr (1942) and George Gaylord Simpson (1944).
