Not exactly. The universe begain at precisely Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 GMT.
(The Bible is a wee bit off on this statistic.)
Recorded history began 68 years, a few days and a few hours later. [*]
So, Sat Jan 10 13:37:04 2004 GMT marks the end of the beginning, and
the beginning of the end of recorded history.

*: This much is known with certainty. Leap Seconds were invented after
the true beginning of time. Because of the invention of Leap Seconds,
the universe may or may not cease to exist prematurely.
