No, he is only the god of destruction. He is the head of all gods. No one can continue the circulation of life without his permission. Death is also as important as birth.

Edit:

Shiva is also the destroyer of sukshma sarira i.e. subtle body, destroyer of ignorance, Shiva krupa means Guru Gurupa. Without the grace of Shiva, one cannot excel in spirituality. Shiva means auspiciousness. Shiva represents an ideal householder, greatest yogi, an ideal and great ascetic. Shiva represents Jnana and so has no birth. The form of Shiva as shankara is the most near to convey atma tatva. Shiva is both with for and formless and unlike Vishnu he resides very near or on earth in mansarovar. Vishnudev and brahmadev are also important in sustaining or running the world. All 3 are necessary for the balance.
