When anyone produces a good explanation as to how something like the bacterial rotary motor came to exist, they will have made a case against ID

Not really. They may have made a case against a specific argument used to support the idea of ID. Showing that one specific thing doesn't really require ID is not much of a case against ID.

OTOH showing one or more things that have not been explained by current theory doesn't strike me as a very strong case for ID.

100 years ago nobody even knew that the bacterial rotary motor existed. Did that lack of knowledge prove the existence of God?

If, in the next hundred years, scientists prove how the bacterial rotary motor came into being through evolution, will that make you disbelieve in God?

No and no. Silly argument. You're grasping at straws -- as do the atheists.

Just because we don't know something, or don't understand it, doesn't prove the existence of God -- nor non-existence, either.

Nothing you can experience with your corporeal senses and your reason will ever prove the existence of God -- nor non-existence, either.
