The theory of evolution is often referred to as the modern synthesis. That's because it's a synthesis, a combining if you will, of the science of genetics with Darwin's theory of natural selection and descent with modification. Once you get deeper into the details you can define the theory of evolution in many acceptable ways, but they'll all be consistent with the modern synthesis.
I don't see reason why Theory of Evolution (ToE) is reffered as the modern synthesis. Many prominent scientists or "brilliant but unorthodox geneticist" like Richard Goldschmidt - according Gould -proposed "hopeful monster" or saltationism as Theory of Evolution.

The prominent German palentologist Schindewolf (director of the Geological Survey of Berlin; in 1948 he became a professor at the University of Tbingen) was also saltationist. He suggested that major evolutionary transformations must have occurred in large leaps between species.
Other Theories of Evolutions are - I mentioned them in my post 119 -:
1) Darwinism
2) Lamarckism
3) Nomogenesis - evolution governed by law3) Orthogenesis
4) Idealistic morhphology
5) John Davison's Prescribed evolutionary hypothesis
etc...
There is no reason for presupposition that Theory of Evolution = Modern synthesis.
Especially take into consideration German idealistic morphology with it's long tradition and prominent proponents before second WW (prominent proponent of it with his research accepted world-wide Wilhelm Troll died 1978).
The same for RAZD.
