Is Determinism Biblical?

Is man free or is man determined? This debate has raged for millennia. It is an existential question that does not begin with Calvin or Augustine. It was discussed by Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers like Leucippus, Democritus, and Heraclitus in the 5th Century BC, around the time of the Babylonian Captivity of the Jews. Stoics like Chrysippus discussed it in the 3rd Century BC. I suggest that we can even pre-date the Pre-Socratics by 1,500 years if we consider the teachings of scripture with regards to the call of Abraham or even long before that if we go back to the Protoevangellion in the Garden of Eden. Ultimately, Creation itself demonstrates some form of Determinism.
