There is no grace period on metabolism in the origin.

Some scenarios suggest that first came a first
replicator - then followed a grace period where
natural selection allowed this first replicator to
develop a metabolism system to power itself!

 I ask what energy source was there to develop the
metabolism system during that grace period? And how
is it that that first replicator was in no way
harmed or destroyed by the environment.
It just couldn't happen.

In other words you need a time machine to take
the evolved metabolism system back to when it
was needed after the first replicator began
evolving to the metabolism system that was needed
to evolve the first metabolism system, etc! HUH???
