Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Neptune
Pluto
The number is 8 - earth = 7 earths. So as we see, I analyze from he Quran and the number of 7 earths also is mentioned with the 7 heavens. Now since they are 7 planets other than the earth, then it can be the heavens of these 7 planets, or skies. So God might have referred to the 7 heavens as our atmosphere, 7 layers or the 7 planets other than earth. But these are verses that came on the prophet and were left to people to know, in time.
But in either case, both 7 heavens meanings are correct.

I'm going to be honest here and point out I don't have the time, patience, or inclination to debate this at length with you, but I can't help but respond to this section. It stuck out to me as one of the more obvious examples of misunderstanding of basic scientific facts that brings into question many other things you say as well. Since I was as young as 9 - and maybe even before then but it was at the age of 9 that it was first taught in school - I have known that there are *nine* planets in the solar system:
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto
I don't need to, but I'll point it out anyway, 9 planets - Earth != 7 planets. Even more significantly, nearly 200 planets have been definitively discovered outside our own solar system, most of them with masses similar to that of Jupiter. Not that it's needed, but such an egregious flaw in your statements calls everything else you say even further into question than it already is.
