Yes, exactly!
The generations are laid out, which means the GENERATIONS of the heavens and earth are given in Genesis chapter 1, as the gap theory suggests.
The gap theory states that the heavens and earth of Gen 1:2ff were GENERATED from the heaven and earth of Genesis 1:1.

"Generations" doesn't always mean there was a prior ancestry. Look at the "generations of Adam", he had no human father. He was created by God, yet the Bible starts with him and goes on down the line, and calls it his generations. It all depends on the context, and here that is that the generations are laid out for us to see.

OK, so since it is stated that
"These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens" wouldn't that mean those generations have been laid out in chapter 1?
Isn't that what you stated in your first parargraph?
