Is there any reasonable evidence that they ever existed, besides hearsay from religious fanatics?

Moses received them, not Abraham.
They are in the Ark of the Covenent which is located in the basement of a small chapel in Ethiopia. King David's son gave it to the Ethiopian Queen of the day. One man guards the Ark of the Covenent all day every day for his entire life. He's the only one who knows if it's really there, but I don't see why he would waste his entire life guarding it if it wasn't there...

actually exodus 31:18-32:16 God wrote the ten with his finger. Jesus kept the ten commandments John 10:15 the ten commandments placed inside the ark and sealed exodus 40:20. Remember if a person cannot answer a question about scripture using scripture then you must beware of them. Isaiah 8:20 to the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

The originals written by the finger of God, were 2 carried down the mountain by Moses. When he saw the reveling and merry making around the calf, Moses destroyed them.
The two answers above are more or less correct, but cannot be prov-en. The Ark is believed to be in Uxom, Ethiopia under guard in it's own building.

Abraham wrote the ten commandments? I always thought that was Moses. The ten commandments supposedly reside in the Arc of the Covenant. Last known whereabouts of the Arc was in the Temple of Solomon, I think. When the Temple was sacked, can't remember by who the Arc disappeared.

They have disappeared somewhere, but the Israelites carried the tablets along with the holy of holies and they ended up in the temple in Jerusalem. They kinda disappeared from there on. There were actually 2 sets of tablets. Moses broke the first set when he came off the Mountain and they had built a golden calf to worship instead of God. Actually Aaron built it the bum. He went up and received the 2nd set.

Abraham did not write the 10 Commandments.

You're right, the 10 commandments Abraham wrote don't exist, because Abraham never wrote the 10 commandments.

I guess that we have already established that it was Moses, and not Abraham. The tablets of stone were in the Ark of the Covenant which is believed to be somewhere in Ethiopia.

Moses and God wrote the Ten Commandments.
Yes, I believe they existed.
Didn't Moses get mad at the Israelites because while he and God were writing, the Israelites made a Golden calf to worship, and Moses was so angry he threw the Ten Commandments down.
This is why Moses was never allowed into the Promise Land (Israel). God allowed him to see it from a Mountain top, but he never entered into, because of his anger!

It doesn't matter... because a new era dawned and the ten were replaced by the "Greatest Commandment."
But of course there are those who still want to use those 10 commandments to judge others, so they have preserved them in the stone of an unwillingness to make the change.
