It's scientists who work hard to give us the best understanding of how the Universe began, not Atheists. They come up with theories and then prove them over and over again while religion makes one claim and never proves it.

I don't remember who said that the probability that the creation of Univers came by chance is like the probability that you put all the pieces used for the making of a Boeing 747 plane in a field then a tornado pass on that field and take all the pieces and give in the end an intact well manufactured Boeing 747

I've heard this "Ultimate 747 Gambit" before in
The God Delusion, here's what wikipedia has to say about it:

Dawkins' name for the statistical demonstration that God almost certainly does not exist is the Ultimate Boeing 747 gambit. This is an allusion to Hoyle's fallacy. Fred Hoyle reportedly stated that the "probability of life originating on Earth is no greater than the chance that a hurricane, sweeping through a scrapyard, would have the luck to assemble a Boeing 747."[2] The basic argument against empirical theism dates back at least to David Hume, whose objection can be popularly stated as "Who designed the designer?", but according to Daniel Dennett the innovation of Dawkins' argument is, first, to show that where design fails to explain complexity, evolution by natural selection succeeds and is the only workable solution, and, second, to argue how this should illuminate the confusion surrounding the anthropic principle.[3]

The most obvious example again is the soul: with all the scientifical advances, they still don't know what soul is. What is soul? Why even if we keep the organs working people die? Why every living thing have to die in a precise cycle?

There is no proof that a soul even exists, it's something made up by religions. I'm not sure I understand the next questions. People are kept on life support long after their brains have ceased functioning and only machines kept them alive. Which cycle would that be?
