or the earth being 10,000 years old?

Humanity, or at least written scripture, is roughly 10,000 years old. So if you take humanity = earth, then yes it's approximately true. But also, it's an incredibly egoistic viewpoint because earth is not just humanity.

Edit: by humanity, I mean human culture and not so much human biology.
