Just by-the-way,jimlad9 meant to write "that raises the question..." when he wrote "that begs the question..."

   If I say,"Parallel lines will never meet because they're parallel",THAT is 'begging the question'. In other words,assuming as true the very thing I'm seeking to prove.

   Ot you can say,"That poses the question.." , or "The question is..."

   Thank you.
