Honestly, I've always had a problem with the "gems don't reproduce because they're immortal" argument. Yes, they cannot die of old age, but as Amethyst demonstrated in "Indirect Kiss" accidents can still happen. Since healing powers are apperantly really rare, I'm sure many gems shatter and are never revived again. On top of that, gems are in danger of being destroyed by other gems, especially if Jasper and Peridot's attitudes are typical. Plus, they had to originate somehow.

I do really like the idea of the giant hindu goddess fusion, although I feel like a 14-gem fusion would be way bigger than the temple. There is also the question of why she only has eight arms, although Garnet proves that fusions do not always add up the arms of the component gems.
