A Suggestion
I really like the idea of crafting a layperson-level explanation of thermodynamics that actually works for laypeople (even better if it also works for creationists, who represent a special class of laypeople), so I suggest using this thread not only to discuss Rrhain's attempt, but also to craft your own, whether original or just modifications to other attempts.

Moderator Request
If there's interest in another 2LOT discussion then could someone please propose a thread for that purpose? This thread is for working out how best to communicate the concept of entropy to laypeople. Thanks.
