Prob. 4, Sec. 27, in Munkres' TOPOLOGY, 2nd ed: Any connected metric space having more than one point is uncountable Here is Prob. 4, Sec. 27, in the book Topology by James R. Munkres, 2nd edition: 

Show that a connected metric space having more than one point is uncountable. 

Here is a solution. Although I do understand the proof at this URL [The gist of that proof is the fact that no finite or  countably infinite subset of $[0, +\infty)$ can be connected in the usual space $\mathbb{R}$.], I'd like to attempt the following. 
My Attempt: 

Let $X$ be a set having more than one point. Suppose that $(X, d)$ is a metric space such that the set $X$ is either finite or countable. 
Case 1. 
If $X$ is finite, then we can suppose that $X = \left\{ \ x_1, \ldots, x_n \ \right\}$, where $n > 1$. Then, for each $j = 1, \ldots, n$, let us put
  $$ r_j \colon= \min \left\{ \ d \left( x_i,  x_j \right) \ \colon \ i = 1, \ldots, n, i \neq j \ \right\}. \tag{1} $$
  Then the open balls 
  $$ B_d \left( x_j, r_j \right) \colon= \left\{ \ x \in X \ \colon \ d \left( x, x_j \right) < r_j \ \right\},   $$ 
  for $j = 1, \ldots, n$, are open sets in $X$. 
In fact, we also have 
  $$ B_d \left( x_j, r_j \right) = \left\{ \ x_j \ \right\}, \tag{2} $$
  because of our choice of $r_j$ in (1) above, for each $j = 1, \ldots, n$. 
So a separation (also called disconnection) of $X$ is given by
  $$ X = C \cup D, $$
  where
  $$ C \colon= B_d \left( x_1, r_1 \right) \ \qquad \ \mbox{ and } \ \qquad \ D \colon= \bigcup_{j=2}^n B_d \left( x_j, r_j \right). $$
  Thus $X$ is not connected. 

Is my logic correct?

Case 2. 
If $X$ is countably infinite, then suppose that $X$ has points $x_1, x_2, x_3, \ldots$. That is, suppose 
  $$ X = \left\{ \ x_1, x_2, x_3, \ldots \ \right\}. $$
  Then, as in Case 1, we can show that every finite subset of $X$ having more than one points is not connected. 

Am I right?
Can we show from here that $X$ is not connected? 

You are just using $T_2$-ness of metric spaces to show finite ones are disconnected. 
But there are $T_2$ spaces (even $T_3$) that are countable and connected, so 
the last step cannot work based purely on case 1. You need to really use the metric (or normality) etc. to get the disconnectedness.
