I must ask, how does that disprove what I argue?

I read the rest of your post, and the end of your quote goes against the rest of what you said, that we don't understand the human mind.

And also, I don't think that humans are complete slaves to their environment when it comes to thought. Rocks are not conscious beings, they are not faced with choices, living things are.

On the topic of a coin: when it has been flipped, there are two possibilities, whether it will be heads or tails has not been decided yet. The fact that there can be only heads or tails does not make a case for determinism. There is the possibility of landing on the edge.
