the second-oldest profession

Engineering.

The various religious texts record that in the beginning there was chaos, from which a God created the heavens and earth. That's a feat of engineering. God also said "let there be light" and there was light - a task which now universally falls to the electrical engineer.
But why, then, is engineering only the second-oldest profession? The oldest profession is lawyer. Who do you think created all of that chaos?
