No, it says they were appointed to a stone of stumbling, because of their wickedness.
Haydock's Commentaries:
1Pe 2:8 Whereunto also they are [3] set, or placed, i.e. by God's permission; not that God is the cause of their sins or damnation, (whose will is that every one be saved) but his justice has appointed and decreed punishments against those who, by their own wilful malice, refuse to believe and to follow his doctrine: their stumbling against this stone is wilful and obstinate. (Witham)
Calvin's Commentary...
Whereunto also they were appointed, or, to which they had been ordained. This passage may be explained in two ways. It is, indeed, certain that Peter spoke of the Jews; and the common interpretation is, that they were appointed to believe, for the promise of salvation was destined for them. But the other sense is equally suitable, that they had been appointed to unbelief; as Pharaoh is said to have been set up for this end, that he might resist God, and all the reprobate are destined for the same purpose.
We don't know why God elected some and not others (although we do know it is not because they "deserved" or "earned" salvation by their own good works.) We only know for certain that He did elect some and not others because that is what Scripture says. All those whose names are written in the Book of Life will repent of their sins, and be saved by Christ alone. The rest will not want to repent nor believe because they have not been born again by the Holy Spirit in order to know the things of God. Those men will continue to "love the darkness."
