Actually whilst I am here can I ask a philosophy 101 type question?

I am struggling with cause when it comes to creating things.

It appears that philosophically you need a minimum of efficient cause and material cause (sculptor an a block of marble for example). There can't be a single cause for something (sculptor with no marble or vice versa).

If that is that case what is the efficient cause in radioactive decay?
