Yes, we just passed New Year's Day of the year 5783 in the Jewish Calendar.

Some people believe that the Messiah will arrive on Rosh Hashanah (New Year's Day) of 6001, which would be in September of 2240. This is based on the belief that 1,000 of our years are just one day to God, so that would be the beginning of the divine seventh day.

Yeah, also the Earth has been around for a hell of a lot longer than just 6,000 years as science and carbon dating have repeatedly proven.

Hell, our species (aka homosapiens) have been around for about 300,000 years.
