Well, being a physicist and not an astronomer, I may get a few details wrong here, but here are some of the problems I have with your thesis and why I believe it "isn't even wrong."
1) The solar system does not resemble any other supernova remnant we have observed. Supernovae leave behind a large cloud of expanding gas and debris that surround the remnant neutron star. The Crab nebula (M1) is a classic example. We've seen the start of the nebula from SN1987A. If the sun were, indeed, a supernova remnent we would be able to observe that nebula surrounding our star. It would occult much of our view in all directions. Astronomers have not observed any such nebula around the sun.
2) Supernovae remnents are neutron stars, not yellow dwarfs such as the sun. None of the remnents we have identified resembles the sun in any way, shape or form.
3) The blast of a supernova pushes most of the material required for a planet out into space as part of the surrounding nebula. It is not an environment conducive to the creatjion of planets. Any of the heavy elements created in the supernova do not remain in the vicinity of the remnent. They are pushed out into space, eventually merge with other nebulae, new stars are formed, and planets with them.
So, I based my one line rebuttal on the simple observation that the solar system does not resemble any supernova we have observed. If the solar system is a supernova remnent, it is one without a neutron star at its center, with no surrounding nebula that contains the debris from the explosion. It is your burden to explain why the solar system should be unique in this way. Your lengthy post does not do so, so I feel justified in dismissing it out of hand.
