Do hardline evolution-backers accept Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand" in economics?

Soitainly! It's just Natural Selection

He was a preacher. By the "Invisible Hand", as I understand, he meant that G-d acts for the good of the whole through the actions and motives of free individuals. The designs of Providence are enacted by the selfish actions of men with souls, those souls are a major connection point to G-d, to the spiritual world. That Providence is the Prime Mover, tthe Director of the Whole, is hidden behind the obvious individual motives and actions of men in the world.
