For future reference I have finally connected white dwarfs in the star evolution.
Planetary nebula [<] white dwarf [<] larger white dwarf [<] large blue star [>] white star [>] yellow star [>] orange star [>] red dwarf [>] auburn dwarf [>] brown dwarf [>] grey [>] blue [>] dark blue [>] green blue (Earth) [>] dead star [X] star guts/small moons/asteroids (smashed up remains of dead stars, the star doesn't literally shrink into nothing).
[<] = denotes expansion
[>] = denotes contraction
[X] = denotes collisions
No object gets really big by just appearing out of nothing it starts out small. No object stays really big forever, it goes back to being small again.
If you see the modern Hertzsprung-Russell diagram it will seem like this common sense approach is ignored. They have large objects appearing out of nothing (blue giants in the upper left hand corner), and red dwarfs staying their same size forever never cooling and shrinking on the lower right hand side of the diagram.
My guess for why they have red dwarfs as staying the same size forever is because
#1- They don't believe red dwarfs can evolve into brown dwarfs, as the universe is not old enough for this to have occured according to Big Bang Creationism
#2- Even if this could happen they would claim to not have any proof of it, even though we have evidence of many millions of red dwarfs and many more millions of brown dwarfs. (A brown dwarf is just a more evolved/older red dwarf).
