To you and me, yes. But in terms of space and how massively big it is, a billion earth trips around Sol is really not that long. Earth started forming about 2/3 into the time when the universe began. With all we can observe in it's almost infinite expanse having burst into existence in only 14.5 billion years is incredibly fast.
