Since Albert Einstein proposed the Special Theory of Relativity in 1905, there has been much discussion, concern, and confusion. This theory is probably the most controversial concept within physics and has been the subject of no little controversy in the origins debate. It is not the intent of this paper to defend or refute the theory, rather to clarify what is and is not assumed and what is and is not implied by it. Thus, hopefully this will reduce the confusion and perhaps some of the unprofitable element of the controversy.
