I don't quite understand your comment.
First, the smallest prime (2) is even.
Second, your first statement can substitute "an even number is prime" with "a multiple of n is prime" for all prime n, leading us to conclude that the odds of any multiple of 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, et al being prime are zero thus seemingly statistically disproving the existence of any prime number which is absurd.
