Google itself admits it considers freshness. Domain age matters. All other things being equal, an older domains are given an advantage over newer domains when you try to achieve a good google rank. However, domain age is not the be all and end all.

Bad, poorly organized old domains with no content and few incoming links will not outrank good, well organized newer domains with decent incoming links!

Google is working on algorithms to better deal with the freshness issue because their own pages got crossed up on this. You can read my comment on a NY time article -
