How do you mean that not all subsets of an infinite set are finite, or in what cases would this be so?

Take all the even numbers. That's a subset of all whole numbers. Is it a finite set? Clearly not. Both are infinite; the population of even numbers is 50%. Sometimes infinity/infinity = 0.5.
The set of prime integers is a strict subset of the set of integers, and yet both are infinite (they have the same cardinality even--that is, they are the same size, in one sense of 'size').
