First half of a blog post by Feser from a month or so back, in which he tries to account for radioactive decay using Aristotelian causation and doesn't notice that he destroys the argument from motion in the process. (Though that doesn't show up until the second half.)
When the gods are shaken from the sky,
there's a scientific reason why.
There's no wish to replace them
and no-one's rushing in to win
the race to fill the empty space
