1. Is there intelligent life outside Earth?
I believe it's most likely but not necessarily so; still waiting for evidence.
2. Have we been visited by beings from other planets?
Unlikely,again, no evidence and why would anyone advanced enough bother with such a nasty,primitive and aggressive species such as ours?
3. Would aliens look like us or carry basic similarities?
I guess it's possible,but I have no idea of how likely. I would not expect so.
4. Is the money wasted on looking for life outside of Earth?
I don't think so,but could be self destructive. We have no way of knowing if other sentient species would be benign. They could be like the Borg for we all know.
5. Could or would aliens have a similar society to our own?
To which society do you refer? Why would they want anything similar to any human society?
6. Could or would aliens believe in a 'God' figure or have a religious society?
Possibly, but not necessarily. An intelligent and consistently rational species would not need religion.
There seems to be an underlying assumption that other sentient species would need to be like us in significant ways.An unfounded assumption. We're not even all that similar to most other species on our own planet.
