Only if you have a timestamp column on the table that records the
creation time. For example,

create table foo (
    foo_id serial not null unique
    , created_timestamp timestamptz not null
        default current_timestamp
) without oids;

Some people also like to include a modified_timestamp column, which can
easily be updated via an after update trigger.
