That has nothing to do with proving ID.

The problem is that there are an infinite number of untestable theories out 
there. In order to show *any* support at all for ID, you not only have to 
find something that didn't/couldn't evolve naturally, but you have to show 
how it *did* come from God.

Depending, of course, on what you mean by "naturally". It's entirely 
possible one might find something that could not have arisen without the 
interference of intelligent planning and forethought but which is 
nevertheless completely naturally evolved.

But disproving that every single molecule of life on Earth is evolved does 
nothing zero nada towards proving what *did* happen with that molecule. Even 
*if* every single protein could not possibly have evolved naturally, that 
doesn't tell you anything about how it *did* come to be.
