nope,  it doesn't, It also does not equal "nothing".   Its why I will always claim both sides have it 1/2 correct and it becomes a problem only when we start forcing beliefs, or lack of beliefs, on others when observations do not support them.  There is no god of the bible, or any other omni-thingie, but past that we don't know, but "something" is there.

Might want to look in this direction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holomovement

The holomovement is a key concept in David Bohm's interpretation of quantum mechanics and for his overall worldview. It brings together the holistic principle of "undivided wholeness" with the idea that everything is in a state of process or becoming (or what he calls the "universal flux"). For Bohm, wholeness is not a static oneness, but a dynamic wholeness-in-motion in which everything moves together in an interconnected process. The concept is presented most fully in Wholeness and the Implicate Order, published in 1980.
"Leave it to me to find a way to be,
Consider me a satellite forever orbiting,
I knew the rules but the rules did not know me, guaranteed." - Eddie Vedder
