Randomness doesn't have an inner conspiracy theorist.
That involves a lot of...stuff.
Trust, I like ignoring the facts as much as anyone else.

You called?
So,the gems are inorganic,they have no true biological form,they are an Illusion of light
Its unlikely they came to exist naturally,inorganic things don't exist in nature,someone or something created them for a purpose
Those mutant gems you see?That's the form the gems had before they were uplifted

In fiction? Whenever it's convenient.

And you should be more clear, saying "inorganic things don't exist" is confusing when what you apparently actually meant is that inorganic life hasn't been found to exist, which is just obvious.
And no, nature is not all about living creatures. Nothing could live without abiotic factors.

That, and the old argument that synthetic beings might just be a complex set of \algorithms that in every respect mimic conscious thought without having any independent sensations that would qualify as living. Of course, if you could theoretically ask one, it'd probably tell you otherwise without any way to really know.
I can suspend my disbelief enough to believe that, on a distant planet, rocks evolved the ability to project bodies made of Hard Light, powered by various forms of energy absorbed while in the earth. Mostly because learning about the history and evolution of Gems as a species would fascinate me and probably make for my all-time favorite episode.
From the perspective of somebody with a background in this sort of stuff, any naturally occurring intelligence (excluding the odd Boltzmann brain, a phenomena which should be both astronomically rare and extremely short lived, and oddities like the China brain) is going to be carbon based under our current understanding of chemistry. Solvents other than water (ie ammonia) are reasonably plausible, but no chemical element other than carbon is capable of the kinds of complex interactions "in the wild" that we suspect to be necessary to get the ball rolling as far as life goes, and even the remotely "plausible" sort of exotic lifeforms don't really have any sort of reasonable path towards the sort of complex information processing we identify as intelligence.
That said, this isn't science, nor is it hard science fiction, so the limit is whatever the creators desire, but the manner in which gems reproduce certainly doesn't seem to support the notion that they evolved naturally; either they have external creators or they modified themselves from their natural forms into the Sufficiently Advanced Aliens they are today.

Yellow Diamond seems to hold a pretty strong distaste for organic life if we go by her tone during Peri's phone call.
My personal theory is that someone created the four Diamonds and some sort of something happened between them and their organic creators and then some time after that the Diamonds created the rest of the gems as we know them and the Gem Empire.
Oh really when?I got no problem the Diamonds came about by unknown circumstances and all the injectors and sucking off life are just their attempts to replicate the process.
I'd much prefer not finding out their origin to to any "They were super weapons but got out of hand" plot line.

The Gem Life Form.
They exist as they are...never change.

That's not really an option, since it pretty much precludes giving an explanation for why the diamonds are the way they are or how the Gem Empire came to be; "they're just an asshole" is a deeply unsatisfying raison d'etre for a character.
Yes, the gems originally being living weapons that Turned Against Their Masters would be somewhat trite, but honestly "post-singularity (organic) species" isn't that far behind in terms of saturation, and there's a fairly limited set of backstories that are capable of logically explaining species with properties that simply can't have come to be naturally.
