Long Answer
1. Though dead, Crake is “still the ruler of his own domain” because his creation, the Crakers, survives, and Snowman creates a mythology for the Crakers that elevates Crake to a kind of deity. (Chapter 13)
2. Crake speculates that symbolic thinking will be the downfall of the Crakers. In other words, when the Crakers begin to think beyond their most basic survival needs to find meaning that is not readily visible, they will become human. The ability of scientists to engage in symbolic thinking creates the downfall of humanity when nature reclaims what science has altered.
