Euclid's first postulate: Give two points, there exists exactly one straight line that includes both of them.

This only applies in 2nd order real space. Euclidean geometry aside, I agree with at least one line could exist between two points

Counterexample: North and Southpole on Earth.

No, it's still accurate - the straight line goes through the center of the Earth. Only in coordinate systems where 'straight' is defined as following the curvature of a surface are there infinite lines between the North and South Poles... and that would be non-Euclidean geometry.
