I think the response you got pointing out that "disorder" is a poor approximation of the actual physical law is the best explanation but it's probably dissatisfying. I like this analogy from Sean Carroll, explaining the difference between disorder and complexity: the moment you first pour cream into your coffee, the coffee-cream system is low entropy. All the cream is at the top, all the coffee is at the bottom, none is mixed together. It's very easy to describe the system. If it was stored as data, you could compress the data very easily. After you stir the coffee for a while and it's all mixed up, it is in its highest entropy state. It's all smooth and mixed together. This is also very easy to describe: everything is mixed up. It's in the middle where you get all the neat swirrles and interesting patterns. We're living in the middle state, between the low entropy moment at the big bang and high entropy heat death of the universe. The galaxies and clusters and life are the swirles.
