In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth
This is the original state.
In the restoration at the beginning of Eternity, John sees a new Heaven (not heavens) and a new Earth.
Heaven is the entire universe. In the beginning, Earth was in Heaven, and there was only one heaven.
Then, during the creation, God divides the heavens.
Genesis 1:6-10 describe the first Heaven.
Genesis 1:14-18 describe the second heaven
2 Cor 12:2 describes the third heaven
This is why Genesis 1:1 is correct, regardless of whether you believe the "gap" or not.
I understand the gap, and see it's strengths as a theory.
But God doesn't divide the heaven into heavens until Genesis 1:6 -> and so whether you go with hovind or a gapper, the KJB is still right
