If your site is powered by JavaScript, that means it won't work and/or you can't get to all of the content without JavaScript enabled in a user's browser, it will kill your SEO. JavaScript is very un-search engine-friendly. And very inaccessible. Doing this is a very bad idea. Yes, Google is working on crawlable Ajax but not only does it only make Google happy it's being universally panned.

Update

If you want to have your site do this, as I mentioned here, you should follow the principle of progressive enhancement. First, build your site so it works without JavaScript. That way search engines and anyone else without JavaScript can access your content normally. Then enhance the site by using JavaScript to load the content dynamically through Ajax. This will enhance the experience of users with JavaScript enabled without harming the users who do not have JavaScript enabled.
