The free market operates "as if guided by an invisible hand" because buying and selling simply is the state of "economic nature," Just as evolution through natural selection simply is the state of biological nature. Precisely the author's point.

Just as evolution through natural selection simply is the state of biological nature. Like marriage, buying and selling is as old as recorded human history. No one argues whether marriage and trade existed thousands of years ago. Evolution isn't in the same category, to put it charitably.
