Before some things, but not before all things. The Solar System (including the Earth) has an age of about 4.6 billion years ago; some other stars are quite a bit older. The Universe formed about 13.8 billion years ago; many "other things" have this age, or almost this age. For example, many galaxies are almost as old as the Universe.
