EVERY number is divisible by one, and EVERY even number is divisible by two.

Therefore Prime Numbers must be odd and ... since there is an infinite number of odd numbers, some of which are prime ... it follows that there must be a relatively infinite number of odd prime numbers because infinity is infinity, and infinity is without end.

QED.

What about 2? Isn't it prime?
