Not necessarily. The Earth is currently about 1/3 the age of the universe. When the Earth is twice as old as it is now it will be about 1/2 the age of the universe. If it makes it to 3 times its current age it will be about 60% of the age of the universe. If Earth survives the expansion of the sun it is not beyond the realm of possibility that it could last for trillions of years. At which point for all practical intents and purposes geological time will be the same as cosmic time.
